More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
The realization of our true substance and potential is the purpose of creation.
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
The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter – it is the Art of Peace, the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
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
Those who have a warped mind, a mind of discord, have been defeated from the beginning.
Morihei Ueshiba
Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.
Morihei Ueshiba
Loyalty and devotion lead to bravery. Bravery leads to the spirit of self-sacrifice. The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountain and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.
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
Ultimately, you must forget about technique. The further you progress, the fewer teachings there are. The Great Path is really NO PATH.
Morihei Ueshiba
Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body will glow.
Morihei Ueshiba
True victory is victory over oneself.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you are centered, you can move freely.
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
True Budo is to accept the spirit of the universe, keep the peace of the world, correctly produce, protect and cultivate all beings in nature.
Morihei Ueshiba
To rid the world of aggression and contention is the purpose of Aikido
Morihei Ueshiba
A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.
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
The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
