I like having somebody to fight for. Rather than some thing. When you fight for a thing, the thing doesn’t care if you win or lose because the thing ain’t alive. But when you fight for people, they care.
I know what I want. I know what kind of god I need to be for you. For all of us.
I don’t know if I could even ever be really good at this thing because I don’t love it. And I look at you all. And you love it so much. And I just wanna feel that way. About something. I just want to wake up and I want to feel that way about something.
Have you ever thought that I want more from life than a nice apartment and a job serving tea?[Zuko]There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity. I suggest you think about what it is that you want from your life, and why.[Uncle Iroh]
Glory?[Spartacus]There is no greater thing than standing victorious in the arena.[Crixus]Is there no purpose beyond the blood? No dream beyond the cheering crowd? Is there nothing else you fight for?[Spartacus]
Everything can have purpose if you allow it. Thinking about switching careers? Maybe that’s God pushing you. Hesitating about a big decision? That could be God telling you to think twice. Thinking about going all in on crypto? That might not be God. Ask your accountant what they think.
Everyone has a much larger job than just their trade.
Even when you’re old, you want to have a place in the world.
Doesn’t matter what a man has if he doesn’t have purpose. You take that away from him… man usually goes with it.
Burdened with glorious purpose. My life was a waste of time.
All you have to do is ask yourself what it is you really love, then give yourself to it for as long as you can.[to Boorman]
A warrior’s fear is a good thing. It means you care. Gives you purpose.
