Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.

I personally do not believe in the word style. Why? Because, unless there are human beings with three arms and four legs, unless we have another group of human beings that are structually different from us, there can be no different style of fighting.

Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception.

The perfect way is only difficult for those who pick and choose. Do not like, do not dislike; all will then be clear. Make a hairbreadth difference and heaven and earth are set apart; if you want the truth to stand clear before you, never be for or against. The struggle between 'for' and 'against' is the mind's worst disease.

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.

The core of understanding lies in the individual mind, and until that is touched everything is uncertain and superficial. Truth cannot be perceived until we come to fully understand our potential and ourselves. After all, knowledge in the martial arts ultimately means self-knowledge.

Give up thinking as though not giving it up. Observe techniques as though not observing.
