To change with change is the changeless state

Don't fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.

Art is the way to the absolute and to the essence of human life. The aim of art is not the one-sided promotion of spirit, soul and senses, but the opening of all human capacities – thought, feeling, will – to the life rhythm of the world of nature. So will the voiceless voice be heard and the self be brought into harmony with it.

The three most difficult things in life are: 1. To keep a secret. 2. To forget an injury. 3. To make good use of leisure.

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready.

All martial art is simply an honest expression of one's body — with a lot of deception in between.

The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead -- big possibilities. Like the song says, We've just begun.
