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

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

The enlightened martial artist sees no enemy but the one within.

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

To view one as an enemy is to see ourselves without having any wrong.

To care for others is the real martial art. To not care shows a disregard for yourself and the universe.

Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.

The ultimate goal of Aikido attained is seeing yourself and the world through eyes that are non-confrontational.

Love never destroys; hate in itself bears the scars of countless battles.

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