Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
To become the enemy, see yourself as the enemy of the enemy
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win
Miyamoto Musashi

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
Water adopts the shape of its receptacle, it is sometimes a trickle and sometimes a wild sea.
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 you wish to control others you must first control yourself
Miyamoto Musashi
It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.
Miyamoto Musashi
Fixation is the way to death. Fluidity is the way to life.
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
Pay attention even to life's trifles.
Miyamoto Musashi
