The hunter does not plunder his world – he takes from it only what he truly needs. In this way the hunter ensures that his coffer, whether it holds friends, food, happiness or power, is never empty.

If you are not strong enough to fight you have no choice but to accept the life of a slave. The hunter is a free being who cannot submit himself to slavery. For him there is no choice but to fight. If he dies in that fight, at least he will die as a free being, and not as a slave.

The best hunters are not those with a natural aptitude for hunting, but those who have had to struggle long and hard to learn every trick of the trade.

To seek out the disciplined and skilled ways of the hunter is the only true honour we may rightfully claim, and to seek the impeccability of the hunter’s spirit is the only possible justification for our existence.

A hunter is an exceptionally disciplined man, for the parameters of his livelihood are precise.

The hunter handles his world with such care that he leaves no trail behind him. to leave a trail would be to become hunted by something more powerful than himself. The art of the hunter lies in his ability to choose both the timing and the location of his appearance. By doing this his interaction with the world becomes calculated and frugal, and thus the hunter avoids depleting both himself and the world around him.
