Things don't change. You change your way of looking, that's all.

A warrior seeks to act rather than talk.

A warrior acts as if he knows what he is doing, when in effect he knows nothing.

Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.

A warrior thinks of death when things become unclear. The idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit.

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.

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.

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.

“Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.”
