The White KnightS'
HandbooK
The Vow of Silence
A white knight does not speak
malicious words.
For every malign word harms his own heart. i
A white knight does not speak
his care of your breast
too fast.
Not before he first knows the cure.
A warrior fights on bravely.
A hero must act with courage. ii
- The Teachings of Silvanus, The Nag Hammadi Library
- Small extract from the Old English Poem 'The Wanderer', preserved in the so-called Exeter Book dating from the late 10th century
