Image
Whatever the Way, the master of strategy does not appear fast.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The Way is in training... Do nothing which is not of value.
Miyamoto Musashi

There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time, and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image

Miyamoto Musashi
Image
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
Image
They speak of This Dojo and That Dojo. They are looking for profit.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
With your spirit open and unconstricted, look at things from a high point of view.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Pay attention even to life's trifles.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Also by training you will be able to freely control your own body, conquer men with your body, and with sufficient training you will be able to beat ten men with your spirit. When you have reached this point, will it not mean that you are invincible?
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Unless you really understand others, you can hardly attain your own self-understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
If the enemy thinks of the mountains, attack like the sea and if he thinks of the sea, attack like the mountains.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist.
Miyamoto Musashi
Image
In contests of strategy it is bad to be led about by the enemy. You must always be able to lead the enemy about.
