Yoda's claims to wisdom are laughable at best. He's a retarded sock puppet that spews bullshit in reverse sentence structure in some bizarre attempt to sound wise. Its like Lucas took random quotes from Buddha and rewrote them for Star Wars.
Anakin: Man I'm really UPSET because I'm afraid of a friend dying! *emotional*
Yoda: Death is not something to be feared, but a natural BLAH BLAH BLAH STANDARD JEDI BULLSHIT ANSWER fails horribly, Anakin goes to the dark side, all shit happens.

Except wars do make people great. Alexander anyone? Genghis Khan? Hannibal? Caesar? There is a reason we still talk about how awesome those badasses were.
Yoda is full of stereotypical "wisdom" lines that just make him sound retarded.
Some Yoda lines are good, when's confronting someone all badass-like. But his ESB lines were funny when he was senile, then cliched/hackneyed when he was all "mastery".

Weren't all those people like.....killed horribly though? Alexander followed his ambition and picked up a disease in India (or poisoned, da dum daaa!). Genghis Khan died due to his excessive battle wounds. Hannibal got his ass kicked in battle. Caesar got stabbed like, a thousand times in da back by jealous rivals. So if Great= easily susceptible to death, then yeah, that's what they were.
They all had violent death because they lead violent and dangerous lives. This is what made them so badass, is the fact that they accomplished so much despite often incredibly difficult circumstances. Everyone dies in the end anyways. Its what you do while you are around that counts.
No it isn't. After you die, does what you have done matter anymore? Will it keep you warm at night thinking of your past greatness? No, becuase you are dead, you are nothing; a void. I'd rather live longer than inspire a bunch of people I don't care about well past when I've ceased to care. I would say that its getting what you can out of life while you can that counts but even thats wrong. Nothing counts.
Emooooooo Raaaage!!!
