TRUST, HONOR AND FAITH
Without faith there is no hope, without hope there is no future.
A wise warrior knows there can be no respect without trust.
The tribe will walk a hundred miles for a great chief if there is trust and belief in him.
A lie or broken promise is never forgotten.
A great warrior gives respect to his enemy, for they too believe in what they do.
A wise warrior treats all with dignity and respect.
The tribe must have faith in their leaders or they will live in uncertainty.
Members of the tribe will work hard when they believe that their efforts will help to
benefit and protect the tribe.
When warriors no longer have the trust of the tribe, they lose the ability to lead.
Honor is critical to a warrior, for without it he is looked upon as one not to be trusted.
The warrior who stands up for what is right, and shows respect to tribal members, will
have followers.
A wise warrior strengthens his leadership by showing faith and trust in others.
Few mourn the death of a tyrant.
A warrior who is pure of heart possesses dignity and honor and respects all forms of
life.
A warrior’s future is built on honor, faith, belief in himself and the trust of others.
A wise warrior knows that if he cannot show faith and support in others, he will not re-
ceive it from them.
Honor is the bond between warriors.
Faith is a light in life’s darkness.
