A knight must have the ability to discern, to separate fact from fiction. A knight must not act out of haste through his own misunderstandings or lack of knowledge, nor be party to malicious gossip to justify his version of the truth – such things show a lack of wisdom and dishonour the oath made before God. Wisdom is portrayed though words, actions, attitudes but above all, silence. Knowing when to keep silent is just as important as speaking up. Such wisdom honours the legacy of our founding fathers. Wisdom comes to those who live by integrity and courage, and who seek both knowledge and truth.
