«?The world is incomprehensible. We won?t ever understand it; we won?t ever unravel its secrets. Thus we must treat the world as it is: a sheer mystery.?»
«?A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.?»
«?Intent is not a thought, or an object, or a wish. Intent is what can make a man succeed when his thoughts tell him that he is defeated. It operates in spite of the warrior?s indulgence. Intent is what makes him invulnerable. Intent is what sends a shaman through a wall, through space, to infinity.?»
«?Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls, but by overtaking the walls. Warriors jump over walls; they don?t demolish them.?»
«?There?s no emptiness in the life of a warrior. Everything is filled to the brim. Everything is filled to the brim, and everything is equal.?»
«?The spirit of a warrior is not geared to indulging and complaining, nor is it geared to winning or losing. The spirit of a warrior is geared only to struggle, and every struggle is a warrior?s last battle on earth. Thus the outcome matters very little to him. In his last battle on earth a warrior lets his spirit flow free and clear. And as he wages his battle, knowing that his intent is impeccable, a warrior laughs and laughs.?»
«?Only the idea of death makes a warrior sufficiently detached so that he is capable of abandoning himself to anything. He knows his death is stalking him and won?t give him time to cling to anything so he tries, without craving, all of everything.?»
«All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between the average person and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this and stays alert, deliberately waiting, so that when this cubic centimeter of chance pops out, it is picked up.»
«?A warrior doesn?t know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate one?s acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.?»
«?It doesn?t matter how one was brought up. What determines the way one does anything is personal power.?»
