Feb. 20th, 2007 12:14 pmFor many Warriors, including myself, and others, who may find this useful:
“A rule of thumb for a warrior is that he makes his decisions so carefully that nothing that may happen as a result of them can surprise him, much less drain his power.”
“A warrior takes responsibility for his acts, for the most trivial of acts. An average man acts out his thoughts, and never takes responsibility for what he does."
“Feeling important makes one heavy, clumsy and vain. To be a warrior one needs to be light and fluid.”
“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.””
“Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives, and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations.”
