A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard. |
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at. |
A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Not thinking yet not dreaming, ready for whatever may come. A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and face the consequences of his own doing. To have no technique, there is no opponent, because the word 'I' does not exist. When the opponent expands I contract and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, 'I' do not hit, 'It' hits all by itself. |
A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough. |
Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own. |
All fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns. |
Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not you go out and look for a successfull personality an duplicate it. |
As long as I can remember I feel I have had this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision. It is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand. |
As you think, so shall you become. |
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. |
