The Event Horizon

All of us go through the same shenanigans, he said after a long pause. The only way to overcome them is to persist in acting like a warrior. The rest comes of itself and by itself.
[The rest is] knowledge and power. Men of knowledge have both. And yet they had kept on acting like warriors and at a given moment, everything changed. (Power, 24)

A Warrior must be calm and collected and must never lose his grip. (Power, 24)

Certainly! It’s your duty to put your mind at ease. Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against wall. Warriors jump over the wall, they don’t demolish them. (Power, 51)

You must cultivate the feeling that the warrior needs something. (Long) (Power, 52)

If a warrior needs solace, he simply chooses anyone and expresses to that person every detail of his turmoil. Afterall, the warrior is not seeking to be understood or helped; by talking he is merely relieving his pressure.
Carlos’ success (Long) (Power, 53)

A warrior accepts in humbleness what he is. (Power, 54)

You yourself know that there is something in a warrior that is always aware of every change. It is precisely the aim of the warrior’s way to foster and maintain that awareness. The warrior claims it, shines it, and keeps it running. (Power, 64)

I would turn it into an affair of power if I could perfect the cry or to simply use to relieve tension whenever I needed to. (Power, 73)

A warrior never lets his guard down. If you keep on being so happy, you’re going to drain the power you have left. Be yourself. Doubt everything. (Power, 74)

I’ve told you that the true art of the warrior is to balance terror and wonder.
He said that he was happy for me, that as a warrior he could rejoice in the triumphs of his fellow men, if they were triumphs of the spirit. (Power, 91)

You kept a rare control and aloofness as a warrior should; you didn’t believe anything and yet you acted efficiently. (Power, 94)

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain of or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges, (Power, 105)

A warrior must be fluid and must shift harmoniously with the world around him, whether it is the world of reason, or the world of will. [Long] (Power, 107)

A warrior considers all of those possibilities and then chooses to believe in accordance with his innermost predilection. [Long] (Power, 110)

Don Juan was right. Having to believe that the world is mysterious and unfathomable was the expression of a warrior’s innermost predilection. (Power, 115)

A warrior must notice everything, that’s his trick, and as the Nagual said, there lies his advantage. (Ring, 209)

It is an honor and a pleasure to be a warrior, and that is the warrior’s fortune to do what he has to do. (Ring, 210)
