If someone asked me what a human being ought to devote the maximum of his life to, I would answer: training. Train more than you sleep.

If you have confidence in your own words, aspirations, thoughts, and actions and do your very best, you will have no need to regret the outcome of what you do. Fear and trembling are lot of the person who, while stinting effort, hopes that everything will come out precisely as he wants.

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

Each of us has his cowardice. Each of us is afraid to lose, afraid to die. But hanging back is the way to remain a coward for life. The Way to find courage is to seek it on the field of conflict. And the sure way to victory is willingness to risk one's own life.

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

Until the day I die, I never want to be separated from my dogi; I never want to cease my training efforts in the dojo.

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