“A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.”

“A warrior acts as if he knows what he is doing, when in effect he knows nothing.”

“A warrior thinks of death when things become unclear. The idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit.”

“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.”

The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.

“A warrior never worries about his fear.”
