Changes happen when we go against everything we're used to doing.
For the warrior, there is no "better" or "worse"; everyone has the necessary gifts for his particular path.
I always was a rich person because money's not related to happiness.
The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.
A great pleasure in life is to do what they say you can't.
The warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and - sometimes - with just a touch of madness.
Success does not come from having one's work recognized by others. It is the fruit of the seed that you lovingly planted.
Life is a long pilgrimage from fear to love.
Sometimes our power resides not in what we do, but in what we don't do.
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning. Dream is also just a word until you decide to fight for it with all your enthusiasm and commitment
Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are.
Any given thing on the face of the earth could reveal the history of all things
Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away
