The Fourth Oath

Fortunate is he who saves the life of a colleague, and greatly blessed are two who have saved each other's. To them only is permitted this oath and it shall be paramount, absolute, and irrevocable:

I am your brother, My life is your life, Your joy is my joy, My honor is your honor, Your anger is my anger, My friends are your friends, Your enemies are my enemies, My secrets are your secrets, Your oaths are my oaths, My goods are your goods, You are my brother.
