Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie.

The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them

From inside fortifications, the gun has no equal among weapons. It is the supreme weapon on the field before the ranks clash, but once swords are crossed the gun becomes useless.

Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.

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

You may abandon your own body but you must preserve your honour.

Always return your weapon along the same path it traveled out on. In this way you can use it again without having to relocate and rethink our attitude.
