Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

If no mistake have you made, yet losing you are … a different game you should play.

In this war, a danger there is, of losing who we are.

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.

Do or do not. There is no try.

Good breeding, a union of kindness and independence.

The ancestor of every action is a thought.

I could have become a soldier if I had waited; I knew more about retreating than the man who invented retreating.

The universe is wider than our views of it.

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

It isn’t making mistakes that’s critical; it’s correcting them and getting on with the principal task.

If the single man plant himself indomitably on his instincts, and there abide, the huge world will come round to him.

I said there was nothing so convincing to an Indian as a general massacre. If he could not approve of the massacre, I said the next surest thing for an Indian was soap and education. Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run; because a half-massacred Indian may recover, but if you educate him and wash him, it is bound to finish him some time or other.

Thought makes every thing fit for use.

Rest in reason; move in passion.

Men cease to interest us when we find their limitations.

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

Do something every day that you don’t want to do. This is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.
