The Nine Noble Virtues





The Values for the Dragon Guard Order





COURAGE:{The bravery to do what is right at all times.}



COURAGE IS BETTER THAN COWARDICE...{By facing life's struggle with courage, we constantly extend our capabilities. Without courage, nothing

else can be done!}



TRUTH:{The willingness to be honest and say what one knows to be true and right.}



JOY IS BETTER THAN GUILT...

Let us take pleasure in our humility, rather than being ashamed of who we are. Misplaced guilt - because of our sexuality, or our strength, or our greatness - has enslaved us long enough!





HONOR} The feeling of inner value and worth from which one knows that one is noble of being, and the desire to show respect for this quality when it is found in the world.



HONOR IS BETTER THAN DIS

HONOR... We must be true to what we are, and we must insist on acting with nobility rather than baseness. Our interior standards must be banners held high in our hearts.



FIDELITY The will to be loyal to one's Gods and Goddesses, to one's folk, and to one's self.}



ANCESTRY IS BETTER THAN UNIVERSALISM...{We believe that who we are , who have been around}{

people for many thousands of years , better suits our nature that any Eastern }{universalistic spiritual discipline} .

\



DISCIPLINE}{line The willingness to be hard with one's self first, then if need be with others.



REALISM IS BETTER THAN DOGMATISM...}{Blind faith has no place in among US

. Our ancestors may have been sublimely mystical, but they were at the same time severely practical. No pie in the sky, we must act in this world rather than calmly wait for the next.}



HOSPITALITY} The willingness to share what one has with one's fellows, especially when they are far from home.



KINSHIP IS BETTER THAN ALIENATION...}{The isolat

ion and loneliness of modern life is foreign to us, nor is it a necessary evil. We call our Folk to return to kith and kin, to family, clan, and tribe.





INDUSTRIOUSNESS}{\line The willingness to work hard--always striving for efficiency--as a joyous activity in itself.}{\b\i



VIGOR IS BETTER THAN LIFELESSNESS...}{

Let us dare to be all that we can be! Let us take risks and taste the richness of life, passivity is for sheep. We refuse to be mere spectators in life



SELF-RELIANCE} The spirit of independence which is achieved not only for the individual but also for the family, clan, tribe, and nation.}{\b\i



FREEDOM IS BETTER THAN SLAVERY...}{

We have no masters! Those who would enslave us, whatever their excuse, are our enemies. The totalitarian ant nest is repugnant to us who demand the free}{, bracing wind of the of life}{.



PERSEVERANCE} The spirit of stick-to-it-iveness that can always bring one back from defeat or failure--each time we fail we recognize failure for what it is and, if the purpose is

true and good, we persevere until success is won.



STRENGTH IS BETTER THAN WEAKNESS...Let others revel in their vulnerability! We are not ashamed to be strong or for that mater in need. The cult of the anti-hero will find

no support in us, and the values we follow are not for the weak.
