Human beings are capable of virtually limitless degradation; they are also capable of virtually limitless improvement and achievement. Success depends on goals and on diligence in pursuing them.

The path of Martial Arts begins and ends with courtesy. So be genuinely polite on every occasion.

One living daily in the Way carries their head low and their eyes high; reserved in speech and possessing a kind heart, they steadfastly continue in their training efforts.

In the martial arts, introspection begets wisdom. Always see contemplation on your actions as an opportunity to improve.

The fastest way to attain courage is to follow the chosen Way and be willing to abandon life itself for the sake of justice.

I realized that perseverence and step-by-step progress are the only ways to reach a goal along a chosen path.

If you do not overcome your tendency to give up easily, your life leads to nothing.
