“In New Eden, almost everything has a price. The problem begins when price is mistaken for value.
ISK can buy obedience, but not loyalty; it can buy silence, but not respect.
A prudent pilot does not mistake patience for fear, nor firmness for pride. He knows when to jump, when to wait, and when to abandon a route that leads nowhere.
Trust is given once and proven over time. A word given, once spoken, no longer belongs to us.
Not everything found deserves to be taken, nor does everything that can be sold deserve a price. Some things are kept because their value cannot be measured in ISK.
Space reveals its secrets to those who know how to observe, but only those who know how to decide come to understand them.
And when the time comes to choose between what is convenient and what is right, let no one mistake my silence for doubt or fear.”
