INSTRUCTORS CAN impart a fraction of the teaching. It is through your own devoted practice that the mysteries of the Art of Peace are brought to life.

More quotes by 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
If you have not linked yourself to true emptiness, you will never understand the art of peace.
Morihei Ueshiba
To practice Aikido fully you must calm the spirit and go back to the origin.
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
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
The Samurai is the first to suffer anxiety for human society, and he is the last to seek personal pleasure.
Morihei Ueshiba
Each person is the universe from a particular perspective.
Morihei Ueshiba
The spirit of self-sacrifice creates trust in the power of love.
Morihei Ueshiba

Morihei Ueshiba
Your spirit is the true shield.
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
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
Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
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
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
Shihonage is the foundation of Aikido. All you ever need to master is shihonage.
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
Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.
Morihei Ueshiba
LIFE IS A DIVINE GIFT. The divine is not something outside of us it is right in our very center it is our freedom. In our training, we learn the real nature of life and death. When life is victorious, there is birth when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for peace.
Morihei Ueshiba
All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation of love.
Morihei Ueshiba
