What is a truthful life? A life lived with deliberateness, a good, strong life.

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.

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.

A warrior knows that he is only a man. His only regret is that his life is so short that he can't grab onto all the things he would like to. But for him, this is not an issue; it's only a pity.

Man has a dark side, yes, and it is called stupidity.

The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to himself. Perhaps you are chasing rainbows. You're after the self-confidence of the average man, when you should be after the humbleness of a warrior. The difference between the two is remarkable. Self Confidence entails knowing something for sure; humbleness entails being impeccable in one's actions and feelings.

Think about it: what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.
