attitude eye responsibility
We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.
real taken drinking
One day I found out that personal history was no longer necessary for me and, like drinking, I dropped it... Little by little you must create a fog around yourself; you must erase everything around you until nothing can be taken for granted, until nothing is any longer for sure, or real. Your problem now is that you're too real. Your endeavors are too real, your moods are too real. Don't take things so for granted. You must begin to erase yourself.
warrior thinking acting
A warrior lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting.
dream acceptance wind
The dying sun will glow on you without burning, as it has done today. The wind will be soft and mellow and your hilltop will tremble. As you reach the end of your dance you will look at the sun, for you will never see it again in waking or in dreaming, and then your death will point to the south. To the vastness.
life responsibility desert
For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it.
spirit fright
Fright never injures anyone. What injures the spirit is having someone always on your back, beating you, telling you what to do and what not to do
procrastination thinking problem
Your problems is that you think you have time
money took
They took money away from us for years, and we never got it back.
acts evil importance isolate remorse warrior
A warrior doesnt know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate ones acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.
secret
The secret is not in what you do to yourself but rather in what you don't do.
