“He who acts (with an ulterior purpose) does harm; he who takes hold of a thing (in the same way) loses his hold.”
“He who would so win it destroys it; he who would hold it in his grasp loses it.”
“He who does not fear the sword he holds is not worthy of holding a sword.-Hisagi Shuuhei”
“When a people holds onto its language, it holds onto a semblance of freedom, like a man who holds onto his independence when he retains his own way of thinking. Language is the thought of a people.”
“Open your mind to what I shall disclose, and hold it fast within you; he who hears, but does not hold what he has heard, learns nothing.”
“The great man is he who does not lose his child's heart”
