Some Definitions of a Principle

1. A principle is a fundamental rule which becomes the basis of an action.
2. A principle is the fundamental truth which is the basis of our reasoning.
3. A principle is a general law which is the foundation for a decision.

Institutions are destroyed by leaders who do not base their decisions and reasoning on principles.  To build a lasting organization, you must base your reasoning, deeds and decisions on *principles*.  All  the  long lasting organizations we see around have employed some principles in their dealings.

Principles outlive nepotism, favouritism, partisanship and political expediency. 

|If you break principles, the principles will break you|
