 +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.
