The meaning of life is that it is to be lived.

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.

The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all. He lives only in what is.

In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.

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

When you fight, if it is a real fight, use every tool that you have, use your whole body. Use your fists, your legs, your fingers, your head if you have to, and hit them in every vulnerable spot, the balls, the eyes etc. to win.

Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle. In short, enter a mold without being caged in it. Obey the principle without being bound by it. Learn, master, and achieve.
