Whatever your determination or will power, it is foolish to try to change the nature of things. Things work the way they do because that is the way of things
Miyamoto MusashiIn the void is virtue, and no evil. Wisdom has existence, principle has existence, the Way has existence, spirit is nothingness.
Miyamoto MusashiThe important thing in strategy is to suppress the enemy's useful actions but allow his useless actions
Miyamoto MusashiThe primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him.
