“Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons. Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.Every Warrior of the Light has said ‘yes’ when he wanted to say ‘no.’Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.”

Paul Coelho

“A warrior of light respects the main teaching of the I Ching: 'To persevere is favourable.'He knows that perseverance is not the same thing as insistence. There aretimes when battles go on longer than necessary, draining him of strength andenthusiasm.At such moments, the warrior thinks: 'A prolonged war finally destroys thevictors too.'Then he withdraws his forces from the battlefield and allows himself arespite. He perseveres in his desire, but knows he must wait for the best moment to attack.A warrior always returns to the fray. He never does so out of stubbornness,but because he has noticed a change in the weather.”
