More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
In true budo there is no enemy or opponent. True budo is to become one with the universe, not train to become powerful or to throw down some opponent. Rather we train in hopes of being of some use, however small our role may be, in the task of bringing peace to mankind around the world.
Morihei Ueshiba
The best strategy relies upon an unlimited set of responses.
Morihei Ueshiba
The Samurai is the first to suffer anxiety for human society, and he is the last to seek personal pleasure.
Morihei Ueshiba
Shihonage is the foundation of Aikido. All you ever need to master is shihonage.
Morihei Ueshiba
A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.
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 ART OF PEACE does not rely on weapons or brute force to succeed instead, we put ourselves in tune with the universe, maintain peace in our own realms, nurture life, and prevent death and destruction. The true meaning of the term samurai is one who serves and adheres to the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
ALL THINGS, material and spiritual, originate from one source and are related as if they were one family. The past, present, and future are all contained in the life force. The universe emerged and developed from one source, and we evolved through the optimal process of unification and harmonization.
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
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you.
Morihei Ueshiba
Your spiritual developement is a divine path that leads to truth, goodness and beauty it is a spiritual path reflecting the unlimited, absolute nature of the universe and the ultimate grand design of creation.
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
Cast off limiting thoughts and return to true emptiness. Stand in the midst of the great void. This is the secret of the Way of a Warrior.
Morihei Ueshiba
True victory is victory over oneself.
Morihei Ueshiba
Foster and polish the warrior spirit while serving in the world illuminate the path according to your inner light.
Morihei Ueshiba
Peace originates with the flow of things - its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you are centered, you can move freely.
Morihei Ueshiba
Those who have a warped mind, a mind of discord, have been defeated from the beginning.
Morihei Ueshiba
The Art of Peace is medicine for a sick world. There is evil and disorder in the world, because people have forgotten that all things emanate from one source. Return to that source and leave behind all self-centered thoughts, petty desires, and anger. Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.
Morihei Ueshiba
Progress comes to those who train and train reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere.
Morihei Ueshiba
