To win over an enemy with love is a far greater reward than to conquer the enemy with hate.

A martial artist should not be measured on their ability to hurt or destroy an enemy but how they can change aggression into the art of peace.

It takes greater courage to lead by truth than to lead with fear and deception.

After a life time study in martial arts you may come to the realization that fighting or not fighting, is really the same.

Martial Arts should not focus entirely on the destruction of an enemy but in ways it can strive to embrace the enemy.

Everyone seeks some form of appreciation. Strive to offer appreciation whenever possible and you will create a peaceful wake wherever you go.

Within the martial arts, while competition in the form of sport exists, the art of Budo, a way of love may never be truly understood.

Training in a martial art has no end, just a beginning.

To live only in today or the past leaves no room for tomorrow.
