True courage is born only when it is accompanied by justice.

One becomes a beginner after 1000 days of training. One becomes a master after 10,000 days of practice.

Reading good books implants good ideas in the mind, develops good aspirations, and leads to the cultivation of good friends.

Aspirations must be pure and free of selfishness. Arising from the depths of the soul, aspirations are spiritual demands penetrating all of a human life and making it possible for a person to die for their sake. A person without aspirations is like a ship without a rudder or a horse without a bridle. Aspirations give consistent order to life.

If you do not overcome your tendency to give up easily, your life leads to nothing.

My Way is the Way of Karate, which is also the Way of humanity, and which is consequently related to the Way of Heaven.

Karate is Budo and if Budo is removed from Karate it is nothing more than sport karate, show karate, or even fashion karate-the idea of training merely to be fashionable.
