My favorite Yoda quote; "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering". These words, even though spoken by a fictional character are very poignant today, as in any age. Is this basic idea borrowed from some enlightened personage from the past? Maybe, Buddha, or Jesus? Any other great quotes with possible parallels?

I recognize the Taoist infulence. I could not, at the time I posted the question, remember Lao Tzu's name.

A true prophet will be able to borrow or use quotes from all time periods. Perhaps he even borrowed one from Yoda as well. One such saying which reminds me of Yoda is: "My time is not yet."

Some people may say "because he's taller!" or "because he has a sweet beard!" But we all know in our hearts that Yoda is much more cute, and deadly with the force. You just can't beat little green men...

actually he is an Eckist.
Eckankar .the science of soul travel
that's where he got those quotes from .the Books written by Eck Masters.
Jesus is not known on the worlds that Yoda has visited.i don't believe.maybe though.
But the Eck is very well know.to all that have it with them in their souls.The Eck is what some people call the spirit of God.

How about
“Size matters not, ... Look at me. Judge me by size, do you?”
and correlating to
"But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)

My favorite Yoda quote was taken right out of the new testiment:
"Warned you we tried. Listen you did not. Now SCREWED we all will be!"

It's more Taoist, really. The Jedi religion.
