THE ART OF PEACE is not easy. It is a fight to the finish, the slaying of evil desires and all falsehood within. On occasion the voice of peace resounds like thunder, jolting human beings out of their stupor.
Morihei Ueshiba
The key to good technique is to keep your hands, feet, and hips straight and centered. If you are centered, you can move freely.
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
The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.
Morihei Ueshiba

Morihei Ueshiba
It is necessary to develop a strategy that utilizes all the physical conditions and elements that are directly at hand. The best strategy relies upon an unlimited set of responses.
Morihei Ueshiba
Nonresistance is one of the principles of aikido. Because there is no resistance, you have won before even starting. People whose minds are evil or who enjoy fighting are defeated without a fight.
Morihei Ueshiba
Those who have a warped mind, a mind of discord, have been defeated from the beginning.
Morihei Ueshiba
Each person is the universe from a particular perspective.
