More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.
Morihei Ueshiba
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you.
Morihei Ueshiba
In a real battle, atemi is seventy percent, technique is thirty percent.
Morihei Ueshiba
A good stance and posture reflect a proper state of mind.
Morihei Ueshiba
Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
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
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
To practice properly the Art of Peace, you must: Calm the spirit and return to the source. Cleanse the body and spirit by removing all malice, selfishness, and desire. Be ever grateful for the gifts received from the universe, your family, Mother nature, and your fellow human beings.
Morihei Ueshiba
Each person is the universe from a particular perspective.
Morihei Ueshiba
Those who have a warped mind, a mind of discord, have been defeated from the beginning.
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
To practice Aikido fully you must calm the spirit and go back to the origin.
Morihei Ueshiba
In extreme situations, the entire universe becomes our foe at such critical times, unity of mind and technique is essential - do not let your heart waver!
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
All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.
Morihei Ueshiba
Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
Morihei Ueshiba
Create each day anew by clothing yourself with heaven and earth, bathing yourself with wisdom and love, and placing yourself in the heart of Mother Nature.
Morihei Ueshiba
The realization of our true substance and potential is the purpose of creation.
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
THE BODY SHOULD be triangular, the mind circular. The triangle represents the generation of energy and is the most stable physical posture. The circle symbolizes serenity and perfection, the source of unlimited techniques. The square stands for solidity, the basis of applied control.
