More quotes by 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
The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win
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
Respect Buddha and the gods without counting on their help

Miyamoto Musashi
Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body
Miyamoto Musashi
Consider yourself lightly consider the world deeply.
Miyamoto Musashi
From inside fortifications, the gun has no equal among weapons. It is the supreme weapon on the field before the ranks clash, but once swords are crossed the gun becomes useless.
Miyamoto Musashi
