A man of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then he looks and rejoices and laughs and then he sees and knows.

A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting.

... a warrior knows that he cannot change, and yet he makes it his business to try to change, even though he knows that he won't be able to. That's the only advantage a warrior has over the average man. The warrior is never disappointed when he fails to change.

A warrior, or any man for that matter, cannot possibly wish he were somewhere else; a warrior because he lives by challenge, an ordinary man because he doesn't know where his death is going to find him.

The world around us is a mystery, and men are no better than anything else.

A man goes to knowledge as he goes to war, wide awake, with fear, with respect, and with absolute assurance.

A man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting... Thus a man of knowledge sweats and puffs and if one looks at him he is just like an ordinary man, except that the folly of his life is under his control.

Man has a dark side, yes, and it is called stupidity.

The greatest flaw of human beings is to remain glued to the inventory of reason. Reason doesn't deal with man as energy. Reason deals with instruments that create energy, but it has never seriously occurred to reason that we are better than instruments: we are organisms that create energy. We are bubbles of energy.
