The best battles are…


The best battles are those where the enemy gives up before any shots have to be fired at all.

The unknown represents…


To some people, the unknown always represents a threat.
Mitth’raw’nuruodo (Thrawn); Outbound Flight




Sometimes a jedi’s most…


Sometimes a jedi’s most important duty is to stand and wait.

Mace Windu; Outbound Flight




Need rarely triggers war…


Need rarely triggers war. Desire is far more deadly.

Jangotat; The Cestus Deception




Jedi wear no armor…


Jedi wear no armor. Armor both protects and numbs. Jedi must expose themselves fully to the currents of the universe.

 Kit Fisto, The Cestus Deception




There is a secret to the warrior arts…


There is a secret to the warrior arts. One that has nothing to do with training. Nothing to do with fancy movements. It is the willingness to trade lives with your enemy. To never fight for anything you would not die for. Those who fight for glory, or gold, or power, stand on shifting sand, [...]




The maintenance of…


The maintenance of social order requires both myth and reality.

Mace Windu; The Cestus Deception




The more you…


The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat.

Jangotat; The Cestus Deception




Those who place profit above…


Those who place profit above freedom generally end with neither.

Kit Fisto; The Cestus Deception




It takes…


It takes maturity to admit an error.

If a person in authority…


If a person in authority talks only to those who agree with him, he soon finds himself out of authority.

Luke Skywalker; New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




When anger becomes…


When anger becomes rage, fear becomes terror, love becomes obsession, self-esteem becomes vainglory, then a natural and useful emotion becomes an unreasoning compulsion and the darkness is.

 Vergere, New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




The route to mastery is…


Unreasoning passion is the province of darkness. But an understood emotion is not unreasoning . That is why the route to mastery is through self-knowledge.  It’s not possible to suppress all emotion, nor is it desirable. An emotionless  person is no more than a machine. But to understand the origin and nature of one’s feelings, [...]




When you are in…


When you are in the grip of an irresistible compulsion, it is then that you feel most like yourself. But in reality it was you who were passive then. You let the feeling control you.

 Vergere, New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




Virtues must be…


A right that is given is as useless as a virtue that is given.  Rights are used, or they have no value, just as virtues must be preformed.

 Vergere, New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




Despair is…


Despair is an illusion that the dark casts before our eyes.

Luke Skywalker; New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




To grow…


To grow hard was also to risk growing brittle.

Leia Organa Solo; New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




Each Jedi Knight is responsible to…


Each Jedi Knight is responsible to the Jedi Code. Never to act for personal power, but to seek justice and enlightenment.

Luke Skywalker; New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




Wisdom is…


Wisdom is knowing when you’ve given all you can.

Leia Organa Solo; New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




It’s best to have the opposition…


It’s best to have the opposition inside the tent, where you can keep an eye on them.

 Cal Omas, New Jedi Order – Destiny’s Way




Knowledge and phobia…


Knowledge and phobia had little to do with each other.

Kaird; Coruscant Nights – Jedi Twilight




The Force doesn’t define you…


The Force abets you. It doesn’t define you. Before it laid claim to you, you were then who you are now; otherwise, it would not have chosen you as it’s vessel.

Even Piell,  Coruscant Nights – Jedi Twilight




The Force aids…


The Force aids a Jedi’s power. It completes a Jedi’s training. But the Force alone does not make a Jedi. That comes from a deeper place.

Even Piell; Coruscant Nights – Jedi Twilight




When you give aid and comfort to…


Even the humblest of beings contains within himself a universe of infinite diversity and wonder. Therefore, when you give aid and comfort to just one being, you are, for that moment, the deity of an entire cosmos.

I-5YQ; Coruscant Nights – Jedi Twilight




All wounds…


All wounds heal with time.

  Tahiri Veila, New Jedi Order – Force Heretic III Reunion




Isolation leads to…


Isolation leads to stagnation. Stagnation leads to corruption. Corruption leads to death.

 Jacen Solo, New Jedi Order – Force Heretic III Reunion




A lack of fighting…


A lack of fighting isn’t peace; it’s just a temporary cessation of war.

Tahiri Veila, New Jedi Order – Force Heretic III Reunion




Battles are rarely…


Battles are rarely won with blind rage.

Fear of that which is new or different can make people act irrationally.

Denial solves…


Denial solves nothing.

Jabitha Hal,  New Jedi Order – Force Heretic III Reunion




In all of us lurks…


In all of us lurks a residual loyalty to the old ways. Sometimes even the truth finds it difficult to erase the programming of a lifetime.
