A martial artist has to take responsibility for himself and accept the consequences of his own doing.

If mere mechanical efficiency can make everyone a martial artist, then all is well. Unfortunately, combat, like freedom, is something that can not be preconceived.

You will never get any more out of this life than you expect.

Have no rigid system in you, and you'll be flexible to change with the ever changing.

I wish neither to possess nor to be possessed. I no longer covet 'paradise'. More important, I no longer fear 'hell'. The medicine for my suffering I had within me from the very beginning but I did not take it. My ailment came from within myself, but I did not observe it, until this moment. Now I see that I will never find the light unless, like the candle, I am my own fuel, consuming myself.

Observe what is with undivided awareness.

You must have complete determination. The worst opponent you can come across is one whose aim has become an obsession.
