When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way.
Morihei UeshibaIf you have life in you, you have access to the secrets of the ages, for the truth of the universe resides in each and every human being.
Morihei UeshibaIN THE ART OF PEACE we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally.. Let attackers come any way they like, and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.
Morihei UeshibaThere are times when you may be overwhelmed by the teachings of the Way. At such moments, it is important to continue with the original spirit of a beginner.
Morihei UeshibaTHE ART OF PEACE is the religion that is not a religion; it perfects and completes all religions.
Morihei UeshibaALL THINGS, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization.
