Image
If you fail to take advantage of your enemies' collapse, they may recover.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
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
Image
There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
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
Image
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
The halberd is inferior to the spear on the battlefield. With the spear you can take the initiative, the halberd is defensive.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

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
Image
You can only fight the way you practice
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
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
Image
Fixed formation is bad. Study this well.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
When your opponent is hurrying recklessly, you must act contrarily and keep calm. You must not be influenced by the opponent.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
If you wish to control others you must first control yourself
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Respect the gods and buddhas, but never rely on them.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Do nothing which is of no use.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Do not regret what you have done
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist.
Miyamoto Musashi
