Knowledge, particularly the raw knowledge of ideas, is supreme. An idea has no
weight, but it can move mountains. The greatest gift of humankind, an idea
outweighs anything made by mortal hands. Knowledge is power and must be used
with care, but hiding it away from others is never a good thing. Stifle no new
ideas, no matter how false and crazed they seem; rather, let them be heard and
considered. Never slay a singer, nor stand by as others do so. Spread knowledge
wherever it is prudent to do so. Keep no secrets for their own sake. Curb and
deny falsehoods, rumor, and deceitful tales whenever you encounter them. Write or
copy lore of great value at least once a year and give it away. Sponsor and teach
bards, scribes, and record keepers. Spread truth and knowledge so that all folk
know more. Never deliver a message falsely or incompletely. Teach reading and
writing to those who ask (if your time permits), and charge no fee for the teaching.
