1. Thou shalt abstain from the intersection takeoff for, verily, the
runway behind thee, as the altitude above thee, cometh not to thine aid
when thou needest them.

2. Thou shall not linger on active runways lest thou become like unto minced meat.

3. Ignore not thy checklists, for many are the switches, handles, gauges
and other demons waiting to take cruel vengeance upon thee.

4. Thou shall cast thine eyes to thy right and also to thy left as thou
passeth through the firmament, lest thy fellow pilots bring flowers to thy spouse.

5. Thou shall not buzz, for this shall surely incur the wrath of thy
neighbors and the fury of the authorities shall be called down upon thy head.

6. Thou shall be ever mindful of thy fuel lest there be nothing in thy
tank to sustain thee upon the air, and thy days be made short.

7. Trust not thine eyes to lead thee through the cloud, lest the
Archangel Gabriel await thee therein.

8. Thou shalt not trespass into the thunderstorm, lest the tempest rend
the wings from thy chariot and cast thee naked into the firmament.

9. Put not thy trust in weather prophets, for when the truth is not in
them, then they shall not accompany thee among thy ancestors.

10. Thou shalt often confirm thine airspeed on final, lest the earth rise up and smite thee.

And my favorite saying....

11. Thou canst only tie the record for flying too low.
