More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
Morihei Ueshiba
To practice Aikido fully you must calm the spirit and go back to the origin.
Morihei Ueshiba
A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.
Morihei Ueshiba
Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.
Morihei Ueshiba
Opponents confront us continually, but actually there is no opponent there. Enter deeply into an attack and neutralize it as you draw that misdirected force into your own sphere.
Morihei Ueshiba
YOUR HEART IS FULL of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout. Just as a lotus flower springs from the mire to bloom splendidly, the interaction of the cosmic breath causes the flower of the spirit to bloom and bear fruit in this world.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you are centered, you can move freely.
Morihei Ueshiba
Aiki is not a technique to fight with or defeat an enemy. It is the way to reconcile the world and make human beings one family.
Morihei Ueshiba
Aikido is the principle of non-resistance. Because it is non-resistant, it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. Aikido is invincible because it contends with nothing.
Morihei Ueshiba
One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.
Morihei Ueshiba
Foster and polish the warrior spirit while serving in the world illuminate the path according to your inner light.
Morihei Ueshiba
The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us.
Morihei Ueshiba
Mankind's role is to fulfil his heaven-sent purpose through a sincere heart that is in harmony with all creation and loves all things.
Morihei Ueshiba
IN THE ART OF PEACE we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally.. Let attackers come any way they like, and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.
Morihei Ueshiba
Aikido can be summed up like this: True victory is self-victory let that day arrive quickly! (True victory) means unflinching courage (self-victory) symbolizes unflagging effort and (let that day arrive quickly) represents the glorious moment of triumph in the here and now.
Morihei Ueshiba
Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
Morihei Ueshiba
Progress comes to those who train and train reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere.
Morihei Ueshiba
True victory is self-victory let that day arrive quickly!
Morihei Ueshiba
Techniques employ four qualities that reflect the nature of our world. Depending on the circumstance, you should be: hard as a diamond, flexible as a willow, smooth-flowing like water, or as empty as space.
Morihei Ueshiba
CONTEMPLATE THE workings of this world, listen to the words of the wise, and take all that is good as your own. With this as your base, open your own door to truth. Do not overlook the truth that is right before you.
Morihei Ueshiba
