'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!'
- Master Yoda
'You must unlearn what you have learned.'
- Master Yoda

'Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. 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. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the ship.'
- Master Yoda
'Wars not make one great!'
- Master Yoda
Yoda: Yes, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. 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. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Obi-Wan's apprentice!
Luke Skywalker: Vader. ...Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke Skywalker: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
A Jedi does not grasp at power.
A Jedi is not a dominator, not an opressor.
To grasp at power is to abandom the Ways of the Force.
Such a one ceases to know the Force, except in his Dark Side.
To grasp at power is to take up the path that leads to destruction.
The Dominator is the enemy, yes.
But the Jedi do not use the dark powers of the Dominator against him.

'Training Jedi is a most rewarding pursuit, but one ringed with many unseen perils. Never, oh Master Jedi, rest easy when your pupil begins to grow anxious to learn at a pace greater than that which you have set for him. Such impatience is natural in the young and inexperienced, and a commendable trait in a student. But it also signals a time when the pupil is most open to the temptation of stepping into the broad path of instant gratification and easy advancement that leads to the dark side. Beware, Jedi Master, lest through carelessness and inattention you loose on the galaxy a monster...'
- Bodo Baas
