I'm afraid you will have to fly holding the rock with its heavy chain.

Beware of those who weep with realization, for they have realized nothing.

Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can't lose if your heart is in your work, but you can't win if your heart is not in it.

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.

It is important to do what you don't know how to do. It is important to see your skills as keeping you from learning what is deepest and most mysterious. If you know how to focus, unfocus. If your tendency is to make sense out of chaos, start chaos.

I'm never angry at anybody! No human being can do anything important enough for that. You get angry at people when you feel that their acts are important. I don't feel that way any longer.

If a warrior is to succeed at anything, the success must come gently, with a great deal of effort but with no stress or obsession.
