Examples[]
001: What makes our Brotherhood strong begins with an open heart and an open mind. Open yours, and you will find salvation.
002: What you give to the Brotherhood is what you will receive. Strong faith begets a strong family.
003: One cannot leave footprints in the sand of time while sitting down. Walk with the Brotherhood, and mark your mark on history.
004: The temple of your body is sacred. Keep your steps clean and your temple will be praised, as yours is the true temple of Nod.
005: Of all things you wear, your expression is most important. Be aware- your demeanor affects the demeanor of others.
006: Honesty and integrity are paramount. One can learn from mistakes if one is not busy denying them.
007: Remember, you are always among friends, your brother is you and as such you are your brother, treat your brother as you would treat yourself.
008: One does not rise to the level of one’s expectations but falls to the level of one’s training. Make training a constant priority.

012: 'Yes sir' and 'no sir' are the two most important things you will ever say. These two phrases determine your destiny in The Brotherhood.
014: Negativity is spread by thinking negatively, think positive and be positive, think success and be successful, this is the way of Kane.
