-
I don't want you to think of this as just a film.
-
Some process, of converting electrons and magnetic impulses, into shapes and figures and sounds.
-
No. Listen to me.
-
Shut up, listen, and learn.
-
Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
-
You are fully capable of deciding your own destiny.
-
The question you face is: which path will you choose?
-
Everything you do in life, every choice you make,
-
has a consequence.
-
When you do things without thinking, then you ain't making the choice, the choice is making you.
-
It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.
-
You are what you choose to be. You choose.
-
This is something only you can decide.
-
No lifeguard's watching you any more, you're on your own.
-
You're your own man, and the decisions you make now are yours and yours alone from here until the end.
-
I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really.
-
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
-
Everything that has a beginning, has an end.
-
Believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing,
-
turn cold, and die.
-
It is simply a matter of time.
-
Death smiles at us all. All a man can do is smile back.
-
Because we're mortal.
-
Because any moment might be our last.
-
Everything's more beautiful because we're doomed.
-
You will never be lovelier than you are now.
-
We will never be here again.
-
Death is a natural part of life.
-
Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.
-
Nothing ever truly dies, the Universe wastes nothing. Everything is simply transformed.
-
Our lives are streams, flowing into the same river.
-
And so, we are all connected, in the great circle of life.
-
Don't you be afraid sweetheart.
-
Death is just a part of life.
-
Something we're all destined to do.
-
You cannot escape your destiny.
-
Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.
-
Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you're gonna get.
-
Life moves pretty fast.
-
You don't stop and look around once in a while,
-
you could miss it.
-
Our lives are defined by opportunities. Even the ones we miss.
-
This, is the way things are. You can't change Nature.
-
Change is Nature, Dad. The part that we can influence. And it starts, when we decide:
-
The future is not set.
-
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
-
No fate.
-
No fate but what we make.
-
Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream.
-
The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned, but the second mouse,
-
he struggled so hard that he eventually churned that cream into butter.
-
And he walked out.
-
Size matters not.
-
Look at me, judge me by my size do you? Hhhmmm?
-
And well you should not.
-
For me ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
-
Life creates it, makes it grow.
-
Its energy surround us, and binds us.
-
Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
-
The Force will be with you, always.
-
But beware of the Dark Side. Anger, fear, aggression, the Dark Side of the Force are they.
-
Easily they flow, quickly to join you in a fight.
-
If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
-
Don't give in to hate. That leads to the Dark Side.
-
Your anger gives you great power,
-
but if you let it, it will destroy you.
-
Always remember,
-
your focus determines your reality.
-
Begin each day, as if it were on purpose.
-
Without purpose, we would not exist.
-
Don't ever let somebody tell you
-
you can't do something.
-
You got a dream, you got to protect it.
-
People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, you can't do it.
-
If you want something, go get it. Period.
-
You don't just live in life. You change it, you shape it, you make your mark upon it.
-
What I'm talking about is the human spirit.
-
That's the challenge, that's the voyage, that's the expedition.
-
Be all you can be.
-
The powerful play goes on, and you, may contribute a verse.
-
What will your verse be?
-
You must strive to find your own voice, because the longer you wait to begin, the less likely you are to find it at all.
-
Thoreau said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Don't be resigned to that. Break out.
-
It's not about being rational, it's about following your heart.
-
You must be imaginative, strong hearted.
-
You must try things that may not work.
-
And you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.
-
If you focus on what you've left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.
-
Never look back darling, it distracts from the now.
-
Regrets are a waste of time.
-
They're the past, crippling you in the present.
-
Patience!
-
When you learn to quiet your mind,
-
you will know. When you are calm,
-
at peace. Passive.
-
Your mind is like this water my friend.
-
When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see.
-
But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear:
-
Be whoever you want to be.
-
But you're never going to be the same person you are right now.
-
So my advice to you is to get it right this time around.
-
Because, this time, is all you have.
-
Find the joy in your life.
-
Alright, I'll give it a try.
-
No. Try not.
-
Do, or do not. There is no "try."
-
Take a deep breath, you only need one shot.
-
Make it count.
