There is no ignorance; there is knowledge
There is no passion; there is serenity
There is no death; there is the Force
~To use the Force, the Jedi must remain at harmony with it. To act in dissonance depletes one's power.~
~The Force is created and sustained by life. The Jedi acts to preserve life. To kill is wrong.~
~Yet it is often necessary to kill. The Jedi may kill in self defense or the defense of others. You may kill, if by doing so, life is preserved.~
~But you must know, always, that killing is wrong. When you kill, you commit a crime against the Force. Though you may know that you do so for the greater good, and the greater good justifies your act, you must also know that the death remains as a stain upon your soul.~
~The Jedi does not act for personal gain of wealth or of power. You must act to gain knowledge; to sustain freedom, life and learning; to defeat those who would impose tyranyy, death and ignorance.~
~Sometimes, wealth or power is needed to achieve the Jedi's goals. Money is required for the purchase of goods; power is required to obtain the help of others. To achieve one's goals, aJedi may obtain wealth or power, but is not interested in it for it's own sake, and will surrender it once those goals are achieved.~
~A Jedi never acts from hatred, anger, fear or aggression. A Jedi must act when calm, at peace with the Force. To act from anger is to court the Dark Side, to risk everything for which Jedi stand.~
The Jedi knights are sworn to valor
Their hearts know only virtue
Their lightsabre defend the helpless
Their might upholds the weak
Their words speak only the truth
Their wrath undoes the wicked
