We have more faith in what we imitate than in what we create

Belts are only good for holding up your pants

Fear comes from uncertainty; we can eliminate the fear within us when we know ourselves better.

Without frustration you will not discover that you might be able to do something on your own. We grow through conflict.

There's so much myth and baloney. Like a 80-year-old man able to manhandle a 300-pounder with his little finger. Ridiculous. Or this matter of breaking bricks and boards wth the edge of your hand. Now I ask you, did you ever see a brick or a board pick a fight with anybody?

If you think a thing is impossible,you'll only make it impossible.

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.
