Students of any art, including Karate-do must never forget the cultivation of the mind and the body.

Karate-do begins with courtesy and ends with rei.

In time of grave public crisis, one must have the courage to face a million and one opponents.

Karate is like boiling water, if you do not heat it constantly, it will cool.

It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike.

The secret principle of martial arts is not vanquishing the attacker, but resolving to avoid an encounter before its occurrence. To become an object of an attack is an indication that there was an opening in one's guard, and the important thing is to be on guard at all times.

True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice.
