"Ah, but justice and wisdom are not one and the same. A man who rules justly will never do that which harms the innocent, even if it means that necessary acts cannot be performed; a just ruler will not sacrifice a village to save an army, though it is the best course of action. Likewise, a pure ruler will not act in ways that may taint that purity, nor associate with those who do; by refusing to use any but the purest tools, he weakens himself. A ruler who knows truth, however, will always know the proper course of action; a ruler who pursues truth will not be deceived by the words of false and selfish lords, nor by the whispers of the Shadow."
