The last line should really say “hold my potatoes”
Or “Hold my Green Dragon’s ale”
Hold my pint!
If everyone were a gardener no one would need a warrior
You don’t know many gardeners then. Try making a single step in their cabbage patch.
Leave the cabbages alone, but please god come steal some zucchini. It’s trying to drown us.
If you only teach people to be warriors then they only know how to do war.
You need to know how to do both. Having the skills to grow, build, operate and repair things is wonderful and should be encouraged.
But knowing what to do in an emergency and be as helpful as you can until professional assistance arrives is very important too.
I remember a saying that goes something like “a peaceful people is better than a helpless people” and I feel that fits here
If you teach people to be warriors then they will only know how to do sandbag filling and type III wildfire fighting.

Counter. Sam didn’t see the war.
He did, but not in the movies.
Thank god for firearms (yes, very regulated, etc, not that kind of comment), because now we don’t bother with decades of practice of swordfighting, archery only to die to some noob with a machine gun and have released millions of man-hours to do better things with their time, like gardening, RnD, corporate pole climbing :)
Ignoring the meme, that master sounds like he should spend less time trying to make up philosophic sounding bullshit.
