Whoever wrote the Jedi Code, thought Qui-Gon Jinn, never had to deal with the Hutts.
Claudia Gray (Master and Apprentice (Star Wars))
The Jedi Order was more than an unpaid police force, more than just an exercise club that was into metaphysics. It was a way of life, based on the Jedi Code—and a lot of rules for living that weren’t in the Code, that had been tacked on later. One was that Jedi avoided becoming involved in romantic relationships. Once on the run, Kanan Jarrus had found that rule pretty easy to forget about.
John Jackson Miller (A New Dawn)
This was a dangerous way of thinking. The Jedi Code existed for a reason, and history taught that those who stepped off the path often found tragedy. True greatness came from peace. From knowledge, serenity, and harmony.
Delilah S. Dawson (Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade (Star Wars))
Candy is sweet, vegetables are bitter, but we know which one is better for our health. We know which one will rot our teeth, if left unchecked.
Delilah S. Dawson (Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade (Star Wars))
Being a Jedi means allowing things—even things we love—to pass out of our lives.
Matthew Woodring Stover (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (Star Wars Novelizations, #3))
To truly be a great warrior in the world, you must step past your fears. It’s inevitable that we get attached to people, to our goals, and fear losing them—but a true Jedi knows that attachments to people and goals can hinder us. It is possible to move toward a goal or to be madly in love with someone—without attachment. Often what we really fear is not losing the other but losing that part of ourselves that this someone or something makes us feel. This happens when we attach our sense of self-worth and happiness to someone or something outside of ourselves. Go ahead and love well. Work hard toward a goal, but know that when you make your feelings of love and fulfillment come from an internal reservoir and not from the other person or the goal, you become much stronger. In fact, you may discover that you can love better and pursue your goals with much more ease. But it starts with a feeling within.
Vishen Lakhiani (The Code of the Extraordinary Mind: 10 Unconventional Laws to Redefine Your Life and Succeed On Your Own Terms)
The Jedi Cannot Help Who They Are. Their Compassion Leaves A Trail. The Jedi Code Is Like An Itch.
Grand Inquisitor, Kenobi
As in the "real" world---the adult world---there is a pecking order in a kid's world, as well. It's an unwritten code and pre-existing class system you'll never find recorded in the archives of the school library or indelibly etched into the archway of the administration building. Nonetheless, it is there, perhaps even more real than if it was written down. Those who have mastered its ways achieve a kind of "Jedi-knight" status, and with that comes a certain immunity from it ever "boomeranging" back at them. It's an adolescent adaptation of the old king of the hill game with hundreds continually clamoring toward the top.
Jeff Kinley
The story of our life is written in the lives of those we serve... Paradoxically, we lead by serving, not by leading.
Dick Staub (Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters)
Oh, the sorrow when the mighty spiritual Jedi fall.
Dick Staub (Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters)
What have we been doing these last few years, Cal?" Cere pulled her legs up, wrapping her arms around her knees. "Even the big jobs we've taken, the ones that were really supposed to make a dent, have barely left a scratch on the Empire's hull. We're four people. Greez is right: if we're not smarter about this, we're all going to get killed. And then there's going to be no one left to fight." "So what." Cal frowned. "You're worrtied about wisdom for people in the future. I'm worried about survival for people now. That's why we destroyed the holocron, Cere. To avoic exposing those kids to this kind of life." He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. "We're a weapon, Cere. I'm a weapon. Point me in a direction, let me go, I'll do damage. But building something?" He shook his head. "I don't know how to do that. I've never had to.
Sam Maggs (Jedi: Battle Scars (Star Wars))
If all who face adversity surrendered to it, nothing of value would remain.
Plo Koon
It was all a trap, Leia realized. She thought of the Bothan spies who’d died in their effort to acquire and deliver the secret data regarding the new Death Star to the Alliance. The Bothans were pawns. Everything—the data, the stolen Imperial shuttle, the clearance code for the shield passage—was a scheme to bring the Rebel fleet to Endor.
Ryder Windham (Star Wars: Classic Trilogy)
Idyth had kept no journals, no record of his missions, for in his modesty he had believed that to measure one’s life in such a way was to place too much emphasis on the individual when, in truth, a Jedi was nothing more than a sum of all that had come before and all that would come after, a vessel for the Force, with which it might seek balance.
George Mann (Star Wars: Dark Legends)
As a Jedi, Jennir was a peacekeeper – protecting the innocent – supporting the laws of the Republic… but without law – without the Republic – he will become a peacemaker.
Randy Stradley (Star Wars Omnibus: Dark Times, Volume 2)
We are peacekeepers, but peace cannot be earned solely through defense.
Delilah S. Dawson (Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade (Star Wars))

In service comes true illumination. A light that lasts.
Christopher Cantwell (Star Wars: Obi-Wan - A Jedi's Purpose)
There is no emotion - there is peace. There is no ignorance - there is knowledge. There is no passion - there is serenity. There is no chaos - there is harmony. Whoever wrote the Jedi Code, thought Qui-Gon Jinn, never had to deal with the Hutts.
Claudia Gray (Master and Apprentice (Star Wars))
Not emotion, but peace. Not ignorance, but wisdom. Not passion, but serenity. Not chaos, but harmony. Not death, but the Force.
Mitsuru Aoki (Star Wars Rebels, Vol. 3 (Star Wars Rebels, 3))
Be mindful of the currents of the living Force: to do one’s duty is not always to do right. Concern yourself with right action. Let duty take care of itself.
Matthew Woodring Stover (Revenge of the Sith[SW REVENGE OF THE SITH M/TV][Mass Market Paperback])
Droids. Can't hardly blame them. After all, they're just beholden to their programming… …same as everybody else. Everybody but me, it turns out. I'm a codebreaker. I don't follow programs, I mess with 'em.
Ben Acker (Star Wars: The Last Jedi -DJ -Most Wanted (Issue #1 -Variant Cover by Dave Johnson))
Falling in love - that's what the Jedi Code forbids. Getting laid? Not so much
