Carlos Castaneda Quotes

«The self-confidence of the warrior is not the self-confidence of the average man. The average man seeks certainty in the eyes of the onlooker and calls that self-confidence. The warrior seeks impeccability in his own eyes and calls that humbleness. The average man is hooked to his fellow men, while the warrior is hooked only to infinity.»
«The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.»
«Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use.»
«?Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.?»
«?The internal dialogue is what grounds people in the daily world. The world is such and such or so and so, only because we talk to ourselves about its being such and such and so and so. The passageway into the world of shamans opens up after the warrior has learned to shut off his internal dialogue.?»
«?To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.?»

Author: Carlos Castaneda (Author, Writer) | Keywords: acting
«?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.?»
«?A warrior never worries about his fear.?»
Author: Carlos Castaneda (Author, Writer) | Keywords: warrior, worries
«?We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.?»
