As soon as I could, I left my birthplace and made my way out into the world. Don't just walk along staring at the ground! You need to look up every so often, to make sure nothing takes you by surprise.

Precept Twenty-One: 'Be Aware of Your Surroundings'. Beware though that speaking truthfully may make you enemies. When speaking to someone, it is courteous and also efficient to speak truthfully. If you do not succeed, then you have actually failed! Avoid this at all costs. If you're going to attempt something, make sure you achieve it. Precept Eighteen: 'Seek Truth in the Darkness'. Make sure to believe in your own strength, and you will never falter. Others may doubt you, but there's someone you can always trust. Precept Seventeen: 'Believe In Your Strength'. Once you've made a decision, carry it out and don't look back. Also, by counting your blows as you fight, you'll know how many foes you've defeated. You should only use a single blow to defeat an enemy. If someone is your superior in strength or intellect or both, you need to show them your respect. Precept Fourteen: 'Respect Your Superiors'. Therefore, you should just not be afraid in the first place. Facing your fears can be a tremendous effort. Wearing wet cloaks is unpleasant, and can lead to illness. If your cloak gets wet, dry it as soon as you can. Precept Eleven: 'Mothers Will Always Betray You'. I make sure that my weapon, 'Life Ender', is kept well-sharpened at all times. Therefore, you should make an effort to keep it nice and clean. Your home is where you keep your most prized possession - yourself. Therefore, nobody should be your constant companion. You can rely on nobody, and nobody will always be loyal. When we die, do things get better for us or worse? There's no way to tell, so we shouldn't bother mourning. Our elders teach that our fate is chosen for us before we are even born. Is your opponent strong? No matter! Simply overcome their strength with even more strength, and they'll soon be defeated. Think about something else instead, such as the future, or some food. The past is painful, and thinking about your past can only bring you misery. The longer you rest, the stronger you become. When you rest, your body strengthens and repairs itself. Fighting and adventuring take their toll on your body. You need to strike at the source of this perverse merriment quickly to stop it from spreading. But beware, laughter isn't harmless! Laughter spreads like a disease, and soon everyone is laughing at you. Fools laugh at everything, even at their superiors. Precept Two: 'Never Let Them Laugh at You'. Win your battles, or don't engage in them at all! Losing a battle earns you nothing and teaches you nothing.

Heya folks, I didn't know if anyone had done this, so here are all the precepts Zote has in the game:
