 * Sith Philosophy**

• Only two…Master and Apprentice.

• There is no pain where strength lies.

• If you are prepared to break the fall, you are prepared for the fall itself. Sith do not fall. They do not fail.

• Compassion is a fatal flaw.

• The feelings of the powerless means nothing.

• The feelings of those with power can be exploited.

• A punishment is a lesson.

• Anger is a living thing. Feed it and it will grow.

• What is done in secret has great power.

• Those who serve you always start out with good news. Do not be blinded by their self congratulation. The more they blather the more they are trying to cover their mistakes.

• A savage appearance can strike fear into the hearts of the weak. You do not have to say a word.

• The greedy are the first to economize.

• Move in secret when you can. The blow in darkness is often the killing blow.

• If your enemy inflicts pain, do not allow him to see it.

• You must be prepared to lose your life in order to win.

• Sith are never restless. Our discipline is no less absolute in delay than in action.

• Turn your fear to anger.

• To draw out your victory is foolish. Get the killing done, then move on.

• Results, not excuses.

• Think of the now. Think of the future. Do not meditate on the past.

• Use your shame. Turn it inward to make the Darkness in you grow. Your shame will feed your hatred. Such will make you stronger.

• A Sith Lord can be defeated if he falls victim to his belief in his own invincibility.

• Do not neglect old tricks, they work.

• Push your advantage always.

• The battle is not over until your opponent is dead.

• Even fools can get lucky.

• There is a sucker born every minute.

• Love is a power; it however is only such if you are not blinded by it.

• Emotions, such as love can be a double-edged sword—it can be your greatest weapon, or it could blind you and lead you to destruction.

• When the enemy attacks, retreat. When the enemy is tired, attack.

• Before joining any battle, look at all possibilities and count your costs before entering the fray.

• Learn to harness your own passions and inner demons to fuel your driving fire. Only then can you be unstoppable.

• History will never remember the weak.

• A Jedi attempting to center himself is brought to the center of the universe through the course of his meditations. A Sith doing so is made the center.
