Miyamoto Musashi
Image
You can only fight the way you practice
Miyamoto Musashi
Image

Miyamoto Musashi
Image
Do nothing which is of no use.
Miyamoto Musashi

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
If there is a Way involving the spirit of not being defeated, to help oneself and gain honour, it is the Way of Strategy.
