FACE A SINGLE FOE as if you are facing ten thousand enemies; face ten thousand enemies as a single foe.

Aikido is the spirit of loving protection for all beings.

Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.

THE TECHNIQUES OF the Art of Peace are neither fast nor slow, nor are they inside or outside.. They transcend time and space.

In extreme situations, the entire universe becomes our foe; at such critical times, unity of mind and technique is essential - do not let your heart waver!

A technique can only work if it is in harmony with universal principles. Such principles need to be grasped through Mind, pure consciousness. Selfish desires thwart your progress, but Mind, not captivated by notions of victory or defeat, will liberate you. Mind fixes your senses and keeps you centered. Mind is the key to wondrous power and supreme clarity.

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.
