Quick, guess! Who’s green, has pointy ears, the skin of a Shar-Pei, got to live for 900 years, and like this speaks? Is it Kermit the Frog? Maybe Slimer? Or Gumby? You’ve missed on all three, because it’s the wisest green Grandmaster of Jedi – Yoda! Now, you might remember that we’ve already had an article on Star Wars quotes and jokes, but to miss out on the opportunity to dedicate one to the insightful humanoid alien Yoda would be a colossal blunder. Thus, we are presenting to you our top picks of wisdom that came straight out of the depths of only the most brilliant creature in an article dedicated solely to Yoda quotes!
While all Star Wars characters have had their moment to shine – even our beloved Wookie warrior Chewbacca, that is, if you understand Wookian – Yoda is by far the most enlightened of the bunch. And words he does not spare, whatever the topic – honor, life itself, more honor, a prophecy here and there – he encompasses everything there is to say in his jumbled speeches. Not to mention the fact that he was unbearably adorable in his babyhood, which makes his words fall straight into our hearts all the more. And it doesn’t even matter if you are a die-hard fan of the Star Wars franchise or just know the characters from memes; Yoda’s words are still as bright as those of world-renowned philosophers.
So, scroll right down you must, and check out the clever quotes you shall! After you are done reading and absorbing these gems of sensibility, vote for the Yoda-ism that is the genuine nugget of gold. Then, share this article with your friends, if you like, and see which of these intelligent quotes they would’ve picked as the best!
