More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
Never stray from the Way.
Miyamoto Musashi
The halberd is inferior to the spear on the battlefield. With the spear you can take the initiative, the halberd is defensive.
Miyamoto Musashi
When in a fight to the death, one wants to employ all one's weapons to the utmost. I must say that to die with one's sword still sheathed is most regrettable.
Miyamoto Musashi
Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast.
Miyamoto Musashi
Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body
Miyamoto Musashi
There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
Miyamoto Musashi
All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.
Miyamoto Musashi
When you attack the enemy, your spirit must go to the extent of pulling the stakes out of a wall and using them as spears and halberds.
Miyamoto Musashi
A warrior has no confusion in his mind...This is true emptiness.
Miyamoto Musashi
To become the enemy, see yourself as the enemy of the enemy
Miyamoto Musashi
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Miyamoto Musashi
All man are the same except for their belief in their own selves, regardless of what others may think of them
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
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
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
Anger. Control your anger. If you hold anger toward others, they have control over you.Your opponent can dominate and defeat you if you allow him to get you irritated.
Miyamoto Musashi
The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time, and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things.
Miyamoto Musashi
If you do not look at things on a large scale, it will be difficult to master strategy.
Miyamoto Musashi
It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.
Miyamoto Musashi
From inside fortifications, the gun has no equal among weapons. It is the supreme weapon on the field before the ranks clash, but once swords are crossed the gun becomes useless.
Miyamoto Musashi
