jedi are supposed to have compassion, just not passions of their own.This makes MUCH more sense than the Jedi not having any emotion. You CAN'T turn off your emotions without rejecting a part of yourself. One can accept one's emotions without letting them rule you.
I honestly don't think the Sith have a Code other than "more power is better". Since they tend to operate in small numbers (2 or less) then there wouldn't be much need for a code to rule their "order".
This Jedi Code sounds more like the Jedi we see in the movies...
There is no Passion, there is Peace.
Through Peace flows the Strength of The Force.
Through The Force, I gain Understanding.
Through Understanding, I gain Wisdom.
Through Wisdom, my part becomes clear.
The Force shall Guide me.
However, could something like this really be the "Code", or just a declaration in it? From the movie, we know that the Jedi Code specifies things like "Only one padawan at a time per Jedi." We presume that the Code says something about the trials that a padawan has to pass to become a Jedi, the organization of the Council and conduct for Jedi in general. But it could be much larger than juat a few phrases. I think we can assume that it doesn't have any weird stuff in it like, "Jedi must stand on one foot for an hour in the morning on Tuesdays," but it could be the whole manual for how the Jedi Order is organized.
