Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

The only rule is there's only one rule: no rules.

Any fool can say he is wise but only someone wise can admit he is a fool.

No one but a fool is always right.

There's got to be the same rules for everyone.

No man ruleth safely but he that is willingly ruled.

Every rule should be broken at least one time.

Rules matter, and to be rules they need to be universal in form: always do this, never do that. But it is foolish to rule out in advance the possibility that an occasion might arise when normal rules just don't apply. Rules are not there to be broken, but sometimes break them we must.
