Image
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
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.

Fixed formation is bad. Study this well.
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
You can only fight the way you practice
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win
Miyamoto Musashi

Never stray from the Way.

If you wish to control others you must first control yourself
