More quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
Never depart from the way of martial arts.
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
By knowing things that exist, you can know that which does not exist.
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them
Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi
Even if a man has no natural ability, he can be a warrior.
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
Immature strategy is the cause of grief.
Miyamoto Musashi
The purpose of today's training is to defeat yesterday's understanding.
Miyamoto Musashi
Do not regret what you have done

Fixation is the way to death. Fluidity is the way to life.
Miyamoto Musashi
