I think of myself as a human being.

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.

An intelligent mind is an inquiring mind. It is not satisfied with explanation, with conclusions. Nor is it a mind that believes, because belief is again another form of conclusion.

To live is to express oneself freely

The more complicated and restricted the method, the less opportunity for expression of one's original sense of freedom.

The happiness that is derived from excitement is like a brilliant fire- soon it will go out.

Let yourself go with dis-ease, be with it, and keep it company. This is the way to be rid of it.
