“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet”

“There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. All forms and variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the Universe that enables a man to approach perfection. It may be in the arts of music and painting or it may be in commerce, law, or medicine. It may be in the study of war or the study of peace. Each is as important as any other. Spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as Zen or in any other way is as viable and functional as any "Way."... A person should study as they see fit.”

“You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain”

“Polish your wisdom: learn public justice, distinguish between good and evil, study the ways of different arts one by one.”

“It is difficult to realize the true Way just through sword-fencing. Know the smallest things and the biggest things, the shallowest things and the deepest things.”

“You can only fight the way you practice”

“Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.”
