More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
To become the enemy, see yourself as the enemy of the enemy
Miyamoto Musashi
To cut and slash are two different things. Cutting, whatever form of cutting it is, is decisive, with a resolute spirit. Slashing is nothing more than touching the enemy.
Miyamoto Musashi
Approach the enemy with the attitude of defeating him without delay.
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
Immature strategy is the cause of grief.
Miyamoto Musashi
When your opponent is hurrying recklessly, you must act contrarily and keep calm. You must not be influenced by the opponent.
Miyamoto Musashi
It is imperative to master the principles of the art of war and learn to be unmoved in mind even in the heat of the battle.
Miyamoto Musashi
Do nothing which is of no use.
Miyamoto Musashi
Consider yourself lightly consider the world deeply.
Miyamoto Musashi
In contests of strategy it is bad to be led about by the enemy. You must always be able to lead the enemy about.
Miyamoto Musashi
If you fail to take advantage of your enemies' collapse, they may recover.
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
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
If there is a Way involving the spirit of not being defeated, to help oneself and gain honour, it is the Way of Strategy.
Miyamoto Musashi
The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.
Miyamoto Musashi
If the enemy stays spirited it is difficult to crush him.
Miyamoto Musashi
Do not regret what you have done
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
Know your enemy, know his sword.
Miyamoto Musashi
Accept everything just the way it is.
Miyamoto Musashi
