"Most powerful is he who controls his own power."
– Lair of Grievous, Season 1
It was not easy for Kit Fisto to remember that night on Vassek, in the lair of General Grievous, when he lost several good men and his second Padawan, Nahdar Vebb, to the wicked cyborg general. He still knew that those with power should restrain themselves from using it. And Nahdar failed to do that. He showed too much passion in taking down the droids and in trying to take down Grievous. If he had restrained himself, like a Jedi should, perhaps he would've realized that alone, he was no match for the droid general. Nahdar's power, even if it had been all right to use it, wasn't strong enough to hold back Grievous' aggression, and he died for his trouble.
A meditation he undertook shortly after returning had told him that he, Master Fisto, was far more powerful than either Nahdar or Grievous, because he showed restraint when fighting Grievous, and though he lost too, he survived to fight another day. Kit was glad to have lived, but not being particularly proud, he would've liked it better if Nahdar had also kept that in mind, and then, there would've been one less Jedi turned to darkness by this war.
"Control and tame your strength and your talents, like Kit Fisto, or you will lose your true power in your heart forever, like Nahdar Vebb."
