Quotations from Rabbi Yoda
LUKE: ”I don’t believe it.”
YODA: ”That is why you fail.”
“Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.”
“Master Obi-Wan has lost a planet, how embarrassing, how embarrassing.”
“There is no why — clear your mind of questions.”
LUKE: “I’m looking for a great warrior…”
YODA: “Ahhh! A great warrior. (laughs and shakes his head) Wars not make one great.”
YODA: “Soon will I rest. Yes, forever sleep. Earned it, I have.”
Yoda sits himself on his bed, with great effort.
“Remember, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.”
“Ready, are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained! A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.”
“Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things.”
“A Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware of the dark side. Anger… fear… aggression. The dark side are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan’s apprentice.”
“You will know. When you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.”
“Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hm? Mmmm.”
“And well you should not.For my ally in the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we...(Yoda pinches Luke’s shoulder)... not this crude matter.”
(a sweeping gesture) “You must feel the Force around you.” (gesturing)
“Here, between you… me… the tree… the rock… everywhere! Yes, even between this land and that ship!”
“Fear is the path to the dark side… fear leads to anger… anger leads to hate.. hate leads to suffering.”
