Many people believe everything others say, even though what they see with their own eyes, should be enough to tell them otherwise.

Wizard's Ninth Rule A contradiction can not exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole.

Those who have come here to hate should leave now; for in their hate, they only betray themselves.

Knowledge comes as it will. Life's lessons come at the most surprising times.

You have one Mord-Sith and one Mother Confessor, here, both in very bad moods. I would suggest you not give us an excuse to lose our temper, or we may never find it again in your lifetime." -Kahlan Amnell

Wizards First Rule: People are Stupid

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
