TEN 
COMMANDMENTS
                                                                   by
Leo Szilard
1. Recognize the relationships between things and the laws 
which govern men's actions, so that you
know what you are doing.
2. 
Direct 
your 
deeds 
to 
a 
worthy 
goal, 
but 
do 
not 
ask 
if 
they 
will 
achieve 
the 
goal; 
let 
them 
be
models and examples rather than means to an end.
3. 
Speak to 
all 
others 
as you 
do 
to 
yourself, without 
regard 
to 
the effect 
you 
make, 
so that 
you 
do
not 
expel 
them 
from 
your 
world 
and 
in 
your 
isolation 
lose 
sight 
of 
the 
meaning 
of 
life 
and 
the
perfection of the creation.
 4. Do not destroy what you cannot create.
 5. Touch no dish unless you are hungry. (A pun that could read -
   Do not turn to the court of law unless you are hungry).
6. Do not desire what you cannot have.
 7. Do not lie without need.
 8. Honor children. Listen to their words with reverence and speak to
them with endless love.
 9. 
Do 
your 
work for 
six years; 
but in 
the seventh, go 
into solitude 
or 
among 
strangers, 
so 
that the
memory of your friends does not prevent you from being what you have
become.
 10. Lead your life with a gentle hand and be ready to depart whenever
you are called.

-- 
The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
 to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable,
and challenge
 the unchallengeable.
