“The key to being a warrior is not to be afraid of who you are.”

“Just fully being skillful involves total lack of inhibition. We are not afraid to be. We are not afraid to live. We must accept ourselves as being warriors. If we acknowledge ourselves as warriors, then there is a way in, because a warrior dares to be, like a tiger in the jungle. ”

“There’s more to being a warrior than killing. A true warrior — the best warrior — isn’t cruel or mean. He doesn’t claw an enemy who can’t fight back. Where’s the honor in that?”

“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.”

“A Warrior knows that an angel and a devil are both competing for his sword hand. The devil says: "You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid." The angel says: "You will weaken. You will not know exactly when. You are afraid." The Warrior is surprised. Both the angel and the devil have said the same thing. The devil continues: "Let me help you." And the angel says: "I will help you." At that moment the Warrior understands the difference. The words may be the same but these two allies are completely different. And he chooses the angel's hand.”

“Being brave isn't not being afraid. Being brave is being afraid and going ahead and doing what you have to do.”
