The Wisdom of Star Wars -- Top 10 Quotes to Live By

The last few days here in NYC have been decidedly gloomy...at least from a weather perspective.  But, when the weather is glum (meaning I have no desire to walk outside and risk a bad hair day!), I take it as a sign from the universe that it is time to curl up on the couch and do nothing other than watch old movies.  This weekend, I was really in the mood to get my geek on and watch the Star Wars trilogy.  I mean, who doesn't like a glorious story about the fight for good over evil?  While I was watching, it occurred to me that behind the snappy dialogue, there is actually some pretty good wisdom to share.  It's funny how a flash of insight sometimes can come from the strangest places. 


So, with the help of the internet, I've compiled my top ten bits of wisdom from the Star Wars movies for your reading pleasure.  Enjoy.....and.....May the Force Be With You!


Wisdom from Star Wars


1.  Do or do not, there is no try.
2.  Anger, fear, aggression.  The Dark Side are they.  Once you start down the dark path, forever it will dominate your destiny.
3.  The Dark Side crowds everything.  Impossible to see the future it is.
4.  Named must your fear be before banish it you can.
5.  Many of the truths we cling to depend on our point of view.
6.  Already know that which you need.
7.  Remember, concentrate on the moment.  Feel, don't think.  Trust your instincts.
8.  You can't stop change any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
9.  The more you tighten your grip, the more....will slip through your fingers.
10.  There's always a bigger fish.
