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.

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

It is possible for even the smallest of accolades of achievement to be truly worthwhile without tears and toil?

True courage is born only when it is accompanied by justice.
