It was stupidity that forced us to discard anything that did not conform with ourself - reflective expectations.

A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.

... everything in the world is a force, a pull or a push. In order for us to be pushed or pulled we need to be like a sail, like a kite in the wind. But if we have a hole in the middle of our luminosity, the force goes through it and never acts upon us.

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war: wide-awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance. Going to knowledge or going to war in any other manner is a mistake, and whoever makes it might never live to regret it

Nobody knows who I am or what I do. Not even I. Don Juan Matus

If his spirit is distorted he should simply fix it-purge it, make it perfect-because there is no other task in our entire lives which is more worthwhile...To seek the perfection of the warrior's spirit is the only task worthy of our temporariness, our manhood.

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