True warriors are fierce because their training is fierce.

There are many ways of understanding simple things, but generally the opposite is true for difficult ideas

The halberd is inferior to the spear on the battlefield. With the spear you can take the initiative, the halberd is defensive.

Crossing at a ford occurs often in a man's lifetime. It means setting sail even though your friends stay in harbour, knowing the route, knowing the soundness of your ship and the favour of the day.

Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast….Of course, slowness is bad. Really skillful people never get out of time, and are always deliberate, and never appear busy.

In time, all things work to your advantage when you pursue them with an open heart.

A warrior has no confusion in his mind...This is true emptiness.
