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.

Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn't worry.

Forget the self and you will fear nothing, in whatever level or awareness you find yourself to be.

Self-importance requires spending most of one's life offended by something or someone.

The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments.

When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.

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.
