DISCIPLINE

A respected warrior is fair and just.

Sometimes the only answer is a swift arrow through the heart.

When facing death, every warrior desires a death with dignity and honor.

Discipline must be like the wind: swift.

Every tribal member deserves the right to be heard before being judged.

A wise warrior will acknowledge his mistakes and take appropriate action to correct
each situation.

A wise warrior knows the attempt to take away one’s dignity and honor will result in a
vicious battle.

A wise warrior never shames another in front of the tribe.

The wise warrior allows the defeated to withdrawn with honor. They may become his
ally.

Before carrying out an act of discipline, it is wise to look deep into a mirror. The one
looking back knows if it is just.

A great warrior is expected to follow, support and enforce the laws of the tribe.

A warrior chief will lose the respect of others if he allows anyone who breaks tribal law
to go unpunished.

The wolf in sheep’s clothing is one who takes the credit for what others do and blames
others for his mistakes…discipline for this type of individual should be severe to demon-
strate that such actions will not be tolerated.

Discipline must be harsh for those who prey on the weak.

A wise warrior understands that much can be gained by being benevolent.

Discipline maintains the focus required to carry out acts of war.

A warrior looks into the eyes to read the soul.

The severity of an act dictates the degree of the discipline.
