A warrior knows that he is only a man. His only regret is that his life is so short that he can't grab onto all the things he would like to. But for him, this is not an issue it's only a pity.

More quotes by Carlos Castaneda
There are lots of things a warrior can do at a certain time which he couldn't do years before. Those things themselves did not change what changed was his idea of himself.
Carlos Castaneda
The only thing that is real is the being in you that is going to die.
Carlos Castaneda
Seeing energy as it flows is an imperious need on the path of knowledge. Ultimately, all the effort of sorcerers is guided to that end. It is not enough for a warrior to know that the universe is energy he has to verify it for himself.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior chooses a path with heart, any path with heart, and follows it and then he rejoices and laughs. He knows because he sees that his life will be over altogether too soon. He sees that nothing is more important than anything else.
Carlos Castaneda
The spirit listens only when the speaker speaks in gestures. And gestures do not mean signs or body movements, but acts of true abandon, acts of largesse, of humor. As a gesture to the spirit, warriors bring out the best of themselves and silently offer it to the abstract.

Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision.
Carlos Castaneda
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
Carlos Castaneda
One can say that the nagual accounts for creativity. The nagual is the only part of us that can create.
Carlos Castaneda
A warrior never worries about his fear.
Carlos Castaneda
When one has nothing to lose, one becomes courageous. We are timid only when there is something we can still cling to.
Carlos Castaneda
Never take a path that has no heart in it. You can't lose if your heart is in your work, but you can't win if your heart is not in it.
Carlos Castaneda
Whenever a warrior decides to do something, he must go all the way, but he must take responsibility for what he does. No matter what he does, he must know first why he is doing it, and then he must proceed with his actions without having doubts or remorse about them.
Carlos Castaneda
Nothing in this world is a gift. Whatever must be learned must be learned the hard way.
Carlos Castaneda
You're chained to you reason ... Understanding is only a very small affair, so very small
Carlos Castaneda
My benefactor used to say the seeds are the 'sober head' -- the only part that could fortify the heart of man.
Carlos Castaneda
Within these premises, the only thing one can be is an impeccable mediator. One is not the player in this cosmic match of chess, one is simply a pawn on the chessboard. What decides everything is a conscious impersonal energy that sorcerers call intent or the Spirit.
Carlos Castaneda
Dreaming is the vehicle that brings dreamers to this world, the emissary said, and everything sorcerers know about dreaming was taught to them by us. Our world is connected to yours by a door called dreams. We know how to go through that door, but men don't. They have to learn it.
Carlos Castaneda
When a warrior learns to stop the internal dialogue, everything becomes possible the most far-fetched schemes become attainable.
Carlos Castaneda
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda
Sorcerers are convinced that all of us are a bunch of nincompoops. We can never relinquish our crummy control voluntarily, thus we have to be tricked
