Knowledge earns you power, character earns you respect.

I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged.

The reward is found in the work.

The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge. A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.

Never waste energy on worries or negative thoughts, all problems are brought into existence -drop them.

Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. I'll not willingly offend, nor be easily offended.

The timeless moment. - The "moment" has no yesterday or tomorrow. It is not the result of thought and therefore has no time.
