Peaceful Warrior

Dan Millman:
The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.

Dan Millman:
There are no ordinary moments.

Socrates:
Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all.

Socrates:
Do you know what's the difference between me and you?

Socrates:
You practice gymnastics, I practice everything!

Dan Millman:
You know you got two different shoes on, right?

Socrates:
One's a little newer than the other.

Dan Millman:
Sorry, Coach.

Coach Garrick:
Sorry doesn't mean anything.

Dan Millman:
I know more than you think.

Socrates:
And you think more than you know. But knowledge is not the same as wisdom.

Dan Millman:
Yeah? What's the difference?

Socrates:
You know how to clean a windshield, right?

Dan Millman:
Yeah.

Socrates:
Wisdom is doing it.

Socrates:
There's a lot you'd have to know before you could understand what you saw.

Dan Millman:
Go. Ask me. Ask me something. Captain.

Socrates:
Are you happy? You said I could ask you anything.

Dan Millman:
What does happy have to do with anything?

Socrates:
Everything.

Dan Millman:
My dad's got plenty of cash, school's kind of a breeze, I get straight A's. I got great friends, I'm in great shape, and I only sleep alone when I absolutely want to.

Socrates:
So why can't you sleep at night?

Dan Millman:
What would you say if I told you that I keep seeing those shoes in a dream I keep having?

Socrates:
I'd say maybe you're still asleep. You can live a whole lifetime without ever being awake.

Dan Millman:
Hey, Socrates. If you know so much how come you're working at a gas station?

Socrates:
This is a service station. We offer service. There's no higher purpose.

Dan Millman:
Than pumping gas?

Socrates:
Service to others.

[Dan and Socrates are eating dinner together. Dan is eating with his hands very quickly.]

Socrates:
Slow down. You might taste something.

Dan Millman:
You sure got a lot of rules about stuff, don't you?

Socrates:
Not rules. Things I've learned from my own life experience.

Socrates:
Everyone tells you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs.

Dan Millman:
And let me guess. You want me to believe yours.

Socrates:
No. I want you to stop gathering information from outside yourself and start gathering it from the inside.

Dan Millman:
 :[Dan laughs] What are you, part of some cult or something?

Socrates:
People are afraid of what's inside and that's the only place they're ever gonna find what they need.

Dan Millman:
Life has just three rules?

Socrates:
And you already know them...

Dan Millman:
Paradox, humour, and change.

Socrates:
Paradox...

Dan Millman:
Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out.

Socrates:
Humour...

Dan Millman:
Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure.

Socrates:
Change...

Dan Millman:
Know that nothing stays the same.

Socrates:
Where are you?

Dan Millman:
Here.

Socrates:
What time is it?

Dan Millman:
Now.

Socrates:
What are you?

Dan Millman:
This moment.
