Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals

If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.

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

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.

When you attack the enemy, your spirit must go to the extent of pulling the stakes out of a wall and using them as spears and halberds.

Do not let your spirit be influenced by your body, or your body be influenced by your spirit. Be neither insufficiently spirited or over spirited. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.

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.
