Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.
Miyamoto Musashi
The Way of the warrior does not include other ways, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, certain traditions, artistic accomplishments, and dancing. But even though these are not part of the Way, if you know the Way broadly, you will see it in everything.
Miyamoto Musashi
The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.
Miyamoto Musashi
Accept everything just the way it is.
Miyamoto Musashi
