“The great mistake is to anticipate the outcome of the engagement; you ought not to be thinking of whether it ends in victory or defeat. Let nature take its course, and your tools will strike at the right moment.”

“Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.”

“Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life! Do not be concerned with escaping safely- lay your life before him!!”

“Take no thought of who is right or wrong or who is better than. Be not for or against.”

“Don't think. FEEL. It's like a finger pointing at the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger, or you will miss all of the heavenly glory.”

“Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.”

“Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water.”
