Don't pretend to be a great master and don't try to show off your strength.

When you look at life think in terms of karate. But remember that karate is not only karate -- it is life.

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.

Any man will be able, after sufficient practice, to accomplish remarkable feats of strength, but he may go only so far and no farther. There is a limit to human physical strength that no one can exceed.

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