I have only read this book and not the full series, but my friend loves this series.
I am trying to get a list of all the wizard's rules for a project I am working on for my friend. This series doesn't seem to be that popular because the internet doesn't have much on it, and no one else I know has read it.
Can anyone help me with this?
What are all the wizard's rules?

What are all the wizard's rules?
From the Sword of Truth Wiki:
"In abbreviation, the fourteen rules and the books they originate from are roughly:
1. People are stupid. They believe things mainly because they either want them to be true or fear them to be true. (Wizard's First Rule)
2. Harm can result from good intention. (Stone of Tears)
3. Passion rules reason. (Blood of the Fold)
4. There is Magic in sincere Forgiveness, both in forgiveness received and given. (Temple of the Winds)
5. Mind people's actions over words. (Soul of the Fire)
6. Only allow reason to rule you. (Faith of the Fallen)
7. Life is the future not the past. (Pillars of Creation)
8. Deserve victory. (Naked Empire)
9. Contradictions cannot exist. (Chainfire)
10. Ignoring truth is betraying yourself. (Phantom)
11. Embrace life, Strength without hate.(Confessor)
12. *Truth cannot be destroyed. (Omen Machine)
13. * There have always been those who hate, and there always will be. (Severed Souls)
14. * In this world everyone must die. None of us has any choice in that. Our choice is how we wish to live. (Warheart)"
Rules 12, 13, & 14 were part of what I'd call the "extended series" of novels, which I personally never read.

Ya know, to tell you the truth I don't think the series covered all of the "rules". It seemed like that aspect subtly faded, with maybe a hint here and there. I still highly recommend the entire series all the way to the culmination with Warheart, as well as the prequel "First Confessor: Legend of Magda Serus" and the side shoot "Law of Nines".
Best of luck with your project. Others may have more to contribute than I if they remember more about the "rules".

It's a great series. Goodkind lost steam when he branched out into the Confessor series spinoff, and it just went downhill from there. The Sword of Truth series remains to this day one of my favorite sword & board series though.
omg I used to be obsessed with this series good luck on your project bae
