More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
Never depart from the way of martial arts.
Miyamoto Musashi
Never stray from the Way.
Miyamoto Musashi
The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.
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
If there is a Way involving the spirit of not being defeated, to help oneself and gain honour, it is the Way of Strategy.
Miyamoto Musashi
If you fail to take advantage of your enemies' collapse, they may recover.
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
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.
Miyamoto Musashi
Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast.
Miyamoto Musashi
In contests of strategy it is bad to be led about by the enemy. You must always be able to lead the enemy about.
Miyamoto Musashi
It is said the warrior's is the twofold Way of pen and sword, and he should have a taste for both Ways. Even if a man has no natural ability he can be a warrior by sticking assiduously to both divisions of the Way.
Miyamoto Musashi
Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
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
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
A bullet from a gun does not make a distinction between practice and combat. You are training to be one and the same way in your life
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
In battle, if you you make your opponent flinch, you have already won.
Miyamoto Musashi
The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win
Miyamoto Musashi
Do nothing which is of no use.
Miyamoto Musashi
Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help
Miyamoto Musashi
