A warrior knows that his finest masters are the people with whom he shares the battlefield.

Asking for advice is dangerous. Giving advice is even more of a risk. When he needs help, he tries to see how his friends resolve - or fail to resolve - their problems.

If he seeks inspiration, he reads on the lips of his neighbor, the words his guardian angel wishes to impart to him.

When he is tired or lonely, he does not dream of distant men or women; he seeks those by his side, and shares his pain or necessity for comfort - with pleasure and without guilt.

A warrior knows that the most distant star in the Universe manifests itself in the world around him.
