Recently mentioned I love Yoda..here is the comment I made that brought on this quote-a-palooza I have gotten wrapped up in. (grin):
“I love Yoda!!! I loved that in the newer Star Wars movies they had him kicking arse all over the place. That rocked the socks! The whole idea of him makes me grin, a small green guy with a cranky disposition spouting wisdom. Something in the cosmos just says Yes, thats him…and nods. When I die I want Yoda to tell me “Going to the place you belong, you are. Returning to the place you know best, you are. Being forgotten, you are not.” (happy sigh)
I love Yoda. Now, on to the quotes:
“Do or do not…there is no try”
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is 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, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”
“Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealously. The shadow of greed, that is.”
“[Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.”
“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.”
“Ohhh. Great warrior.Wars not make one great.”’
”Named must your fear be before banish it you can”
“Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, soon night must fall.”
“The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is.”
“Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.”





[...] Bekki just posted an entry that I love — quotes by Yoda! I love Yoda, too, Bekki! Every year, he occupies an important place on our fireplace mantel! [...]
I want a pic of that..:)
edit: followed the link only to find she did indeed post a pic of him. (squeee)
I too love this little guy. My nephews class used the quote ( Do or do not, there is no try”) for their senior year in high school.
I think that being a little crankey just adds to why we love his wisdom!
