All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them but confront them.

All problems become smaller if you don't dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble.

There are no great men, only ordinary men, who have met extraordinary challenges.

I never trust a fighting man who doesn't smoke or drink.

When this war is over, the Japanese language will be spoken only in hell!
