“A rule of thumb for a warrior is that he makes his decisions so carefully that nothing that may happen as a result of them can surprise him, much less drain his power.”
|
“A warrior acts as if he knows what he is doing, when in effect he knows nothing.”
|
“A warrior must learn to make every act count, since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.”
|
“A warrior never worries about his fear.”
|
“A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.”
|
“A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does.”
|
“Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.”
|
“Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.”
|
“Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.”
|
“The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue.”
|
“The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.”
|
“We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.”
|
“When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible; the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.”
|
A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.
|
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it; and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
