More quotes by Morihei Ueshiba
The Art of Peace is based on four Great Virtues: Bravery, Wisdom, Love, and Friendship, symbolized by Fire, Heaven, Earth, and Water.
Morihei Ueshiba
The art of Peace I practice has room for each of the world's eight million gods, and I cooperate with them all. The God of Peace is very great and enjoins all that is divine and enlightened in every land.
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
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
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
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
The best strategy relies upon an unlimited set of responses.
Morihei Ueshiba
All life is a manifestation of the spirit, the manifestation 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
FACE A SINGLE FOE as if you are facing ten thousand enemies face ten thousand enemies as a single foe.
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
True victory is victory over oneself.
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
Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment.
Morihei Ueshiba
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead. The Art of Peace is a celebration of the bonding of heaven, earth, and humankind. It is all that is true, good, and beautiful.
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
Focus on stillness, rather than on movement
Morihei Ueshiba
Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher.
Morihei Ueshiba
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.
Morihei Ueshiba
A black belt is nothing more than a belt that goes around your waist. Being a black belt is a state of mind and attitude. Even though surrounded By several enemies set to attack, Fight with the thought That they are but one.
Morihei Ueshiba
