Ideas are the beginning of all achievement.

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

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

Too much horsing around with unrealistic stances and classic forms and rituals is just too artificial and mechanical, and doesn't really prepare the student for actual combat. A guy could get clobbered while getting into this classical mess. Classical methods like these, which I consider a form of paralysis, only solidify and constrain what was once fluid. Their practitioners are merely blindly rehearsing routines and stunts that will lead nowhere.

A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself.
