More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
Respect the gods and buddhas, but never rely on them.
Miyamoto Musashi
It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.
Miyamoto Musashi
If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.
Miyamoto Musashi
Pay attention even to life's trifles.
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
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Miyamoto Musashi
When your opponent is hurrying recklessly, you must act contrarily and keep calm. You must not be influenced by the opponent.
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
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
Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi
Know your enemy, know his sword.
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
Approach the enemy with the attitude of defeating him without delay.
Miyamoto Musashi
The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them
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
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
A warrior has no confusion in his mind...This is true emptiness.
Miyamoto Musashi
The halberd is inferior to the spear on the battlefield. With the spear you can take the initiative, the halberd is defensive.
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
