}} The First Ideal of the Knights Radiant ~~was~~is shared among all of the orders. Because of this, it serves as the motto for the entire order.{{book ref\|sa1\|59}} Unlike the other Ideals, saying it does not seem to be a prerequisite to gaining further Surgebinding ability, as Kaladin first hears of it long after he first begins to infuse himself with [[Stormlight]]. The First Ideal is not merely a statement of obvious truths. For example, even though a person is always born before he dies, that is not the knowledge that the First Ideal seeks to impart. As explained by [[Teft]]:{{book ref\|sa1\|59}} ;Life before death :The Radiant seeks to defend life, always. He never kills unnecessarily, and never risks his own life for frivolous reasons. Living is harder than dying. The Radiant's duty is to live. ;Strength before weakness :All men are weak at some time in their lives. The Radiant protects those who are weak, and uses his strength for others. Strength does not make one capable of rule; it makes one capable of service. ;Journey before destination :There are always several ways to achieve a goal. Failure is preferable to winning through unjust means. Protecting ten innocents is not worth killing one. In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished. == Ideals of the Radiants ==
