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.

Always remember that the true meaning of Budo is that soft overcomes hard, small overcomes large.

Power is no more than a part, no more than the tip of the iceberg of limitless profundity and sublimate of Karate.

My Way is the Way of Karate, which is also the Way of humanity, and which is consequently related to the Way of Heaven.

Although it is important to study and train for skill in techniques, for the man who wishes to truly accomplish the way of budo, it is important to makehis whole life in training and therefore not aiming for skill and strength alone, but also for spiritual attainment.

One must try, everyday, to expand one's limits.
