True victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart.

The real Art of Peace is not to sacrifice a single one of your warriors to defeat an enemy. Vanquish your foes by always keeping yourself in a safe and unassailable position; then no one will suffer any losses. The Way of a Warrior, the Art of Politics, is to stop trouble before it starts. It consists in defeating your adversaries spiritually by making them realize the folly of their actions. The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony.

Master the divine techniques of the Art of Peace and no enemy will dare to challenge you.

Be grateful even for hardship, setbacks, and bad people. Dealing with such obstacles is an essential part of training in the Art of Peace.

To rid the world of aggression and contention is the purpose of Aikido

The Samurai is the first to suffer anxiety for human society, and he is the last to seek personal pleasure.

A mind to serve for the peace of all human beings in the world is needed in Aikido, and not the mind of one who wishes to be strong or who practices only to fell an opponent.
