Love everyone. But never sell your sword. Paulo Coelho

Warriors are meant to walk in peace and love in a world which doesn't understand either of those concepts. But walking in peace and love does not mean that we were meant to be a door mat.

Walk in love, but never lose your edge. Refuse to be treated badly.
When true warriors fight, they fight to defend what they love, not to destroy what they hate. Now, these two may overlap, and in fact, they often do overlap.

If you are attacked on the street, and you totally dismantle your attacker, that doesn't mean that you hate the guy, but that you respect your own life enough to defend it.

On the other hand, if some terrorists is about to open fire in a shopping mall, and you are there with your family, you are certainly both defending what you love and destroying what you hate. I personally despise terrorists and will take any chance that I get to destroy them and their agenda. At the same time, I will defend those I love against any attack.

Walk in love and peace, but always be ready to unsheathe your sword, should the circumstances demand that you do so. And make sure that you keep your sword sharp. If you need to use it and it is dull and rusty, it will do you little good. Never allow your martial arts skills to become rusty!

/ Carl G Jung /
"Carl Gustav Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology. Jung's work has been influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies. Jung worked as a research scientist at the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital, in Zurich, under Eugen Bleuler. During this time, he came to the attention of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. The two men conducted a lengthy correspondence and collaborated, for a while, on a joint vision of human psychology. Freud saw the younger Jung as the heir he had been seeking to take forward his "new science" of psychoanalysis and to this end secured his appointment as president of his newly founded International Psychoanalytical Association. Jung's research and personal vision, however, made it difficult for him to follow his older colleague's doctrine and they parted ways."

/ Rudyard Kipling /
"Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He was born in British India, which inspired much of his work. Kipling's works of fiction include The Jungle Book, Kim, and many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King". His poems include "Mandalay", "Gunga Din", "The Gods of the Copybook Headings", "The White Man's Burden: The United States and the Philippine Islands", and "If—". He is seen as an innovator in the art of the short story. His children's books are classics; one critic noted "a versatile and luminous narrative gift." Kipling in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was among the United Kingdom's most popular writers. Henry James said "Kipling strikes me personally as the most complete man of genius, as distinct from fine intelligence, that I have ever known." In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, as the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and at 41, its youngest recipient to date."
