More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
Focus on stillness, rather than on movement
Morihei Ueshiba
Techniques employ four qualities that reflect the nature of our world. Depending on the circumstance, you should be: hard as a diamond, flexible as a willow, smooth-flowing like water, or as empty as space.
Morihei Ueshiba
In a real battle, atemi is seventy percent, technique is thirty percent.
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
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.
