“Each one of us is walking our own road. We are born at specific times, in specific places, and our challenges are unique. As knights, understanding and respecting our distinctiveness is vital to our ability to harness our collective strength. The use of force may be necessary to protect in an emergency, but only justice, fairness, and cooperation can truly succeed in leading men. We must live and work together as brothers or perish together as fools.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke
“A dishonest tongue and a dishonest mind waste time, and therefore waste our lives. We are here to grow and the truth is the water, the light, and the soil from which we rise. The armor of falsehood is subtly wrought out of the darkness and hides us not only from others but from our own soul.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke
“Never pretend you are not a knight or attempt to diminish yourself because you deem it will make others more comfortable. We show others the most respect by offering the best of ourselves.” – Sir Thomas Lemuel Hawke
We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a great distance, not by virtue of any sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.
– Bernard of Chartres, 12th Century
“Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil is rightwise King born of all England.”
– Sir Thomas Malory, Le Morte D’Arthur, (bk. i, ch. 4)
“Of all the things that men may heed
‘Tis most of love they sing indeed.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo

“They said that of all the kings upon the earth he was the man most gracious and fair-minded, kindest to his people and keenest to win fame” – Beowulf
