Remember that you must always have a deep regard for courtesy, and you must be respectful and obedient toward your seniors.

Karate is like boiling water: without heat, it returns to it's tepid state

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

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.

Since karate is a martial art, you must practice with the utmost seriousness from the very beginning.

When two tigers fight, one is certain to be maimed, and one to die.

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.
