💖The knights Code

Within the Knights Guild exists a set of principles that guide our actions, shape our character, and define our identity. This is the Knights Code—a code of conduct that encapsulates the essence of what it means to be a Knight. Each word is carefully chosen, representing virtues we hold dear and aspire to embody. Like a radiant tapestry, the Knights Code weaves together the threads of humility, gratitude, pride, cooperation, friendship, forgiveness, honesty, grace, patience, generosity, discipline, equality, love, and an understanding of the inevitable embrace of death. As we delve into the depths of these principles, we embark on a journey to cultivate honor, integrity, and noble character within ourselves and among our fellow Knights.

Humility

Never announce that you are a Knight, simply behave as one.

Gratitude

The only intelligent response to the ongoing gift of life is gratitude. For all that has been, a knight says, ''Thank You''.

Pride

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.

Cooperation

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 Knights. We must live and work together as family or perish together as fools.

Friendship

The quality of your life will, to a large extent, be decided by with whom you elect to spend your time.

Forgiveness

Those who cannot easily forgive will not collect many friends. Look for the best in others.

Honesty

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 souls.

Grace

Grace is the ability to accept change. Be open and supple; the brittle break.

Patience

There is no such thing as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A hurried mind is an addled mind; it cannot see clearly or hear precisely; it sees what it wants to see, or hears what it is afraid to hear, and misses much. A knight makes time his ally. There is a moment for action, and with a clear mind, that moment is obvious.

Generosity

You were born owning nothing and with nothing, you will pass out of this life. Be frugal and you can be generous.

Discipline

In the field of battle, as in all things, you will perform as you practice. With practice, you build the road to accomplish your goals. Excellence lives in attention to detail. Give your all, all the time. Don’t save anything for the walk home. The better a knight prepares, the less willing he will be to surrender.

Equality

Every knight holds human equality as an unwavering truth. A knight is never present when men or women are being degraded or compromised in any way, because if a knight were present, those committing the hurtful acts or words would be made to stop.

Love

Love is the end goal. It is the music of our lives. ere is no obstacle that enough love cannot move Death. Life is a long series of farewells; only the circumstances should surprise us. A knight concerns himself with gratitude for the life he has been given. We do not fear death, for the work one knight begins, others may finish.
