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. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.” – Yoda 14. “The dark side clouds everything.

Always in motion is the future.” — Yoda 21. “Ready are you? 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. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.” — Yoda 22. “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.

Clear your mind must be if you are to discover the real villains behind this plot.“ – Yoda 28. “You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” — Yoda 29. “Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, soon night must fall.” – Yoda 30. “When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.” – Yoda 31. “You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive.

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.” — Yoda 36. “If no mistake you have made, losing you are. A different game you should play.” – Yoda 37. “[Luke Skywalker:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail.” 38. “Happens to every guy sometimes this does” — Yoda 39. “Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.” ― Yoda 40. “Only the Dark Lord of the Sith knows of our weakness. If informed the senate is, multiply our adversaries will.” — Yoda Want more great quotes?
