Proverbs Of Yaeum
"If the enemy is down, let him up." -Proverbs of Yaeum, Book III, Section XI

The Proverbs of Yaeum were based on books made back in the days of the Old Sangheili, with a modernized spin. The books were created by Tre 'Yaeumai, 200 years prior to the war. Many quotes were as in the style of the Art Of War by Sun Tzu of old China, yet with an anti war side to it. There are three Books, and each Book has Sections. Book I deals with the Seven Virtues, Book II focusing on pacifistic views and philosophies, Book III deals with Traditionalist views and stand point with the Loyalists. Examples:

"Rectitude is most needed during war, the dependance on the army, even the nation, is through your decision." -Book I, Section I

"If the enemy is down, let him up." -Book II, Section XI

"Strike in the day, wait in the night, for secret surveillance is not needed to win a war." -Book I, Section V

"Yes, the Gods are real, but we should not disturb them. If we do, we are sinners." -Book III, Section IV

"Be betrayed, but do not betray." -Book I, Section IV

"Do not mourn the dead, but mourn the living who have no hope or love, for they are truly dead." -Book II, Section VI
