Patience you must have, my young Padawan.
Control, control, you must learn control!
Wars not make one great.
Do or do not; there is no try.
Strong am I with the Force, but not that strong.
And as a wise mentor, Yoda tells us how attitude can make a lot of difference.
You think Yoda stops teaching just because his student does not want to hear?
A teacher Yoda is.
Yoda teaches like drunkards drink; like killers kill.
Always two there are.
A master and an apprentice.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
Many of the truths we cling to depend on our point of view.
Do not assume anything, Obi-Wan.
Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.
So certain were you.
Go back, and closer, you must look.
Much you learn, you still my old Padawan.
This is just the beginning.
The more we learn, the more we discover how much we do not know.

A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
What know you of ready?
For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi.
My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained.
A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.
This one a long time have I watched.
All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon.
Never his mind on where he was.
What he was doing.
A Jedi craves not these things.
To be Jedi is to face the truth and choose.
Give off light or darkness, Padawan.
Be a candle or the night.
Out of acceptance comes wisdom.
Not an acquirement wisdom is; not knowledge wisdom is, and not information.
This quality of tremendous acceptance is wisdom.
You will know good from bad when you are at peace and passive.
Fear is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering.
Named must your fear be before banish it you’ve got the option to.
Train yourself to let go of everything you are afraid to lose.
The fear of loss is a path to the Dark Side.
Only the Dark Lord of the Sith knows of our weakness.
If informed the senate is, multiply our adversaries will.
Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
The dark side clouds everything.
Impossible to see the future is.
Hmm, surprised are you?
A challenge lifelong it is, not to bend fear into anger.
But beware of the dark side.
Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they.
Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight.
No longer certain, that one ever does win a war, I am.
For in fighting the battles, the bloodshed, already lost we have.
Yet, open to us a path remains.
That unknown to the Sith is.
Through this path, victory we may yet find.
Not victory in the Clone Wars, but victory for all time.
When you look at the dark side, careful you must.
For the dark side looks back.
Powerful you have become.
The dark side I sense in you.
On many long journeys have I gone.
And waited, too, for others to return from journeys of their own.
Some return and some are broken; some come back, so differently only their names remain.
Darker the coming storm grows.
I fear the dark cloud of sit shrouds us all.
Death is a natural part of life.
In the end, cowards are those who follow the dark side.
Its an inevitable part of life.
Nursing a broken heart?
A fight with a coworker?
Challenging these situations might be, avoiding pointless sorrow is vital.
And these Yoda quotes are worth keeping in mind to persist through the hardship.
Smaller in number are we, but larger in mind.
If you end your training now.
If you choose the quick and easy path as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil.
In a dark place, we find ourselves, and a little more knowledge lights our way.
Your path, you must decide.
Luminous beings are we.
Not this crude matter.
Judge me by my size, do you?
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.
Your weapons, you will not need them.
Death is a natural part oflife.
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.
To answer power with power, the Jedi way this is not.
Mind what you have learned.
Save you; it can.
In this war, a danger there is of losing who we are.
A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.
This one a long time ago have I watched.
All his life has he looked away, to the future, to the horizon.
Never his mind on where he was.
What he was doing.
A Jedis strength flows from the Force.
Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep.
Earned it I have.#

That is the way of things.
The way of the Force.
Always pass on what you have learned.

Secret, shall I tell you?
Grand Master of Jedi Order am I.
Won this job in a raffle I did, think you?
How did you know, how did you know, Master Yoda?
Master Yoda knows these things.
His job it is.
[Luke Skywalker:] I cant believe it.
[Yoda:] That is why you fail.
If no mistakes you have made, losing you are.
