The Three Armies can be deprived of their commanding officer, but even a common man cannot be deprived of his purpose.
~ Confucius quotes from The Analects
-
It is better to perform one's own duties imperfectly than to master the duties of another. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief.
~ Krishna quotes from The Bhagavad Gita
-
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it; and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from A Separate Reality
-
"All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. However, a path without a heart is never enjoyable. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy—it does not make a warrior work at liking it; it makes for a joyful journey; as long as a man follows it, he is one with it."
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from The Teachings of Don Juan
-
"Anything is one of a million paths. Therefore, a warrior must always keep in mind that a path is only a path; if he feels that he should not follow it, he must not stay with it under any conditions. His decision to keep on that path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. He must look at every path closely and deliberately. There is a question that a warrior has to ask, mandatorily: 'Does this path have a heart?'"
~ Carlos Castaneda quotes from The Teachings of Don Juan
-
"A philosophy of life: I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure."
~ Paulo Coelho quotes from The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
-
"I learned the most important lesson of my life: that the extraordinary is not the birthright of a chosen and privileged few, but of all people, even the humblest. That is my one certainty: we are all the manifestation of the divinity of God."
