More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
Too much is the same as not enough.
Miyamoto Musashi
Do not regret what you have done
Miyamoto Musashi
The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them
Miyamoto Musashi
Do not sleep under a roof. Carry no money or food. Go alone to places frightening to the common brand of men. Become a criminal of purpose. Be put in jail, and extricate yourself by your own wisdom.
Miyamoto Musashi
Accept everything just the way it is.
Miyamoto Musashi
Whatever your determination or will power, it is foolish to try to change the nature of things. Things work the way they do because that is the way of things
Miyamoto Musashi
If the enemy stays spirited it is difficult to crush him.
Miyamoto Musashi
Strategy is the craft of the warrior.
Miyamoto Musashi
This is truth: When you sacrifice your life, you must make fullest use of your weaponry. It is false not to do so, and to die with a weapon as yet undrawn.
Miyamoto Musashi
There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
Miyamoto Musashi
As if with the nut and flower, the nut has become less than the flower... both those teaching and those learning are concerned with colouring and showing off their technique, trying to hasten the bloom of the flower.
Miyamoto Musashi
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Miyamoto Musashi
In all forms of strategy, it is necessary to maintain the combat stance in everyday life and to make your everyday stance your combat stance.
Miyamoto Musashi
You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter. Too much is the same as not enough. Without imitating anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you.
Miyamoto Musashi
Thirdly, the gentleman warrior, carrying the weaponry of his way. The way of the warrior is to master the virtue of his weapons. If a gentleman dislikes strategy he will not appreciate the benefit of weaponry, so must he not have a little taste for this?
Miyamoto Musashi
Never stray from the Way.
Miyamoto Musashi
A bullet from a gun does not make a distinction between practice and combat. You are training to be one and the same way in your life
Miyamoto Musashi
All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.
Miyamoto Musashi
The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win
Miyamoto Musashi
Also by training you will be able to freely control your own body, conquer men with your body, and with sufficient training you will be able to beat ten men with your spirit. When you have reached this point, will it not mean that you are invincible?
Miyamoto Musashi
