Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.

A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.

Since life is an ever evolving process, one should flow in this process and discover how to actualize and expand oneself.

The aim of art is to project an inner vision into the world, to state in aesthetic creation the deepest psychic and personal experiences of a human being. It is to enable those experiences to be intelligible and generally recognized within the total framework of an ideal world.

What comes after victory? Why do people value victory so much? What is 'glory'? What kind of victory is 'glorious'?

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

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.
