The non-believers climbed for days to confront the master in the mountains.
"Where do you get your so-called faith?" they asked?
"You brought it", the Master replied. "You've all climbed so High."
The Master told his Pupils: "Forget being taught and concentrate on learning.
When you are sure, question everything."
Faithfull Minds are not enough. Deliver unto us Intelligence also.
In the darkest times, the true believer hones his combat skills.
Mark thine enemy for all that seperates the damned from the chosen is a dot of
monochrome light, projected onto the back of a neck.
Remember, the Meek shall inherit nothing.
All knowlegde is stored somewhere. Be it in books, heads or deep under glaciers.
And when we find it, we make it ours. Faith is bricks; Knowledge is mortar.
He who shouts loudest can only hear his own voice. Those with true knowledge
listen to those with true faith. And those with closed ears never hear the
swing of the reaper's blade.
Poor workers blaim their tools. Good workers build better tools. The best
workers get their tools to do their work for them.
There is no pleasure in stealing the souls of machines.
Not only will all eyes be on the leaders of men, but all combat sights as well.
The people stood like corn in the high fields and listened to the master.
As the repears blade scythed them all, the master fell silent. The lesson
would be learned by others.
The master has no need for money. But still, he sits and counts it. As a
meditation.
A hundred elephants can wreck the outer walls of a fortress. One diseased rat
can kill all those inside.
The courageous enter the dark cave alone. The clever send the courageous first.
The cleverest wait behind the clever.
The apprentices asked the master: "When shall we achieve immortality?"
And the master replied: "Not in this life."
Bravery will take you to into the most dangerous of places. Intelligence will see
you safely through them.
He who lives in the eye of the storm is a mote in the eye of an angry God.
The cowards hide behind technology. The stupid hide from it. But the clever
have technology, and hide it.
Even the salamander sometimes burns.
A war refugee sought the Master. He said, "You are wise and serene. Teach me to
escape the horrors of this world." And the Master blinded him with fire-irons.
Follow the most succesfull thief and steal his ideas.
"Here!" Said the Master. "Build me a great tomb in this place." His apprentices
did. It glittered in the sun. "Now go inside," said he. They entered. An earthquake
then destroyed the tomb, burying those within.
The Master smiled. "Even the faithfull are not always chosen."
"This is called sacrifice."
To take one life is sin. To take a thousand is religion.
The World Shall Turn And The Human Race Shall Pass.
Everything Begins Anew. The Faith Has Run Its Course And It Is Over.
