More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
This is truth: When you sacrifice your life, you must make fullest use of your weaponry. It is false not to do so, and to die with a weapon as yet undrawn.
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
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
Do not regret what you have done
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
Strategy is the craft of the warrior.
Miyamoto Musashi
Determine that today you will overcome your self of the day before, tomorrow you will win over those of lesser skill, and later you will win over those of greater skill.
Miyamoto Musashi
Fixed formation is bad. Study this well.
Miyamoto Musashi
