“There were still choices to be made, decisions to reach, actions to take. Many of them. But in one...single declaration of intent, we stepped across the threshold of war.”

“Bad decisions made with good intentions, are still bad decisions.”

“And I realize that the decision to be human is not one single instant, but is a thousand choices made very day. It is choices we make every second and requires constant vigilance. We have to fight to remain human.”

“The most difficult part ot traditional taekwondo is not learningthe first kick or punch. It is not struggling to remember themotions of a poomsae or becoming aquainted with Korean culture.Rather, it is taking the first step across the threshold of the dojangdoor. This is where roads diverge, where choices are made thatwill resonate throughout a lifetime.”

“...decisions were often made because of ideology and politics. As a result many wrong-headed actions were taken, ones that did not solve the problem at hand but that fit with the interests or beliefs of the people in power.”

“Most of life's actions are within our reach, but decisions take willpower.”
