“By the Way of the warrior is meant death. The Way of the warrior is death. This means choosing death whenever there is a choice between life and death. It means nothing more than this. It means to see things through, being resolved.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo
““A warrior thinks of death when things become unclear. The idea of death is the only thing that tempers our spirit.””
Carlos Castaneda
““Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.””
““Only the idea of death makes a warrior sufficiently detached so that he is capable of abandoning himself to anything. He knows his death is stalking him and won’t give him time to cling to anything so he tries, without craving, all of everything.””
““A warrior doesn’t know remorse for anything he has done, because to isolate one’s acts as being mean, or ugly, or evil is to place an unwarranted importance on the self.””
“I'll never coach another kid like that. I mean, he's a warrior. He is such an incredible competitor that it can't help but be contagious. He's literally willed us all year to wins.”
Mark Few
“I classify players as good, great and warriors. James was a warrior. And he took care of so many team problems that coaches have with players.”
