So what is your Yoda Saying

17 comments

I would say most folks know who Yoda is. If you don't, then watch Star Wars and figure it out. Yoda is a very smart creature with few words. But yet, all his words have meaning and make complete sense.

I have a friend (Julie-Beagle Mutz) who is always saying "Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.". That is her favorite Yoda saying.

So what might be your favorite Yoda Saying. Here are few to ponder.

"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering."

"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not. Attachment leads to jealousy, the shadow of greed that is. Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose."

"Named must your fear before banish it you can."

"May the Force be with you."

"Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an apprentice."

And my personal favorite is

"Always in motion is the future."

So again, what is your favorite Yoda saying.

So we are heading to the lands of Disney World tomorrow.... here is the quote that will be said over and over again to Betty's husband, George:

"Named must your fear before banish it you can."

The name of the fear is the "Tower Of Terror!" :)

We are having serious dog withdrawals and numerous calls home already to check on everyone's crews. We'll need some serious Pluto time tomorrow to help us through the day..... AAARRROOOO!!!

Just found another one - "Size matters not...Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?" I think this speaks to all the smaller shelters and rescues. Even though smaller we can do great things.

That is also a good one. I will have to remember it.

Yoda was very wise and I think we all can learn from his sayings.

Somebody said to today "Much to learn you still have." That was their favorite. I had forgot that one.

I like that.

We introduced a puppy (Morgan) into our family in December. Roz, who will be seven years old in July, has been the master in every sense of the word. She has been extremely tolerant, patient, and generous with Morgan. In turn, Morgan has been an adept apprentice. Whatever Roz does, Morgan apes. Training Morgan has been a breeze due to Roz.

See Roz is a Yoda herself.

Extremely tolerant, patient and generous. That is Yoda.

And for Morgan to understand that Roz is master is also a Yoda thing.

See you are getting the hang of Yoda-ism.

Ok, I also like this one:

"Always two there are, no more, no less: a master and an apprentice."

If anyone has had an older dog and then added to the pack, this one holds so true!
The problem is in my house that they usually teach the 'dark side of the force.' Especially if you have a beagle!!!


Not an expert on Yoda or anything, but I like the 'Fear is the path to th Dark Side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering'.

Although, my FAVE character is Chewbacca! Factoid: Did you know that the creator of Star Wars got the idea for the sound that Chewbacca makes, from his Husky who makes a similar sound?! I thought that was kinda funny. ^_^

Yes, I did know that. But several folks might not. Glad you mentioned it.

I am partial to this one:

“Death is a natural part of life. 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.”

Well, I can't get Yoda's wisdom into my mind because it's filled with Petpatience's comments directed at me on the "Grisly Discoveries at Pa. Cat Death Camp." She had multiple errors in a posting. When I pointed out that the errors were detracting from her cause of protecting animals, I got the following statements(posted separate from my original comment). (And I'm not the one who said anything about kindergarten.)

"IF ANYBODY SOUNDS LIKE THEY GOT DUMPED IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU CASSIE3 CAN'T GET A DATE. BY THE WAY I DID WRITE THIS IN FRONT OF MY YOUTH GROUP. TO SHOW THEM NOT TO TAKE FLACK OFF OF ANYONE. "

"OH BY THE WAY THE KID'S SAID YOU SOUND LIKE TO THEM THAT SOMEONE STOLE YOUR BUBBLE GUM AT RECESS."

"I MIGHT ADD THIS IS A FORM FOR BOTH SIDES TO SPEAK THEIR MIND ON ISSUES AT HAND. NOT TO MAKE UP NEW ONE'S. TO MAKE YOU LOOK COOLER THEN EVERYBODY ELSE. THAT IS ADOLESCENCE AT IT'S BEST. GOT IT TEACHER CASSIE3."

"THE ANIMAL'S DESERVE MORE THAN JUST TRIVIAL HE SAID,SHE SAID B.S. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO GRADUATE KINDERGARTEN. QUIT LOOKING FOR THE CENTER OF ATTENTION."

"THE ISSUE IS THE TREATMENT OF THE CAT'S. AND THEIR WELL BEING. HOW ARE YOUR CAT'S DOING. MAYBE I SHOULD POP BY AND TAKE A LOOK AND SEE FOR MYSELF. YOU BETTER HAVE RECORDS ON HAND."

So...what would Yoda say to this? ;-)

"You will know when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack." So says Yoda.

"You must unlearn what you have learned." "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will....." So says Yoda.

Oh, drat. I was hoping Yoda had a "Laugh and the world laughs with you" hidden somewhere in his pocket. No?

No, he doens't. Give it time and you will see things in their proper prespecitve - and that isn't a Yodaism.

Do I still need to answer? :)

Although I do think it is true, the only failure we can suffer is never having tried!

'Believe.'

"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try." "THERE IS ONLY DO!"

I agree with Beaglemutz - that is my favorite one as well and is a little mantra amongst all the staff and volunteers at our shelter.
