More quotes by 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
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
If you are centered, you can move freely.
Morihei Ueshiba
The realization of our true substance and potential is the purpose of creation.
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
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
In true budo there is no enemy or opponent. True budo is to become one with the universe, not train to become powerful or to throw down some opponent. Rather we train in hopes of being of some use, however small our role may be, in the task of bringing peace to mankind around the world.
Morihei Ueshiba
PRACTICE THE Art of Peace sincerely, and evil thoughts and deeds will naturally disappear. The only desire that should remain is the thirst for more and more training in the Way.
Morihei Ueshiba
The divine is not something high above us. It is in heaven, it is in earth, it is inside us.
Morihei Ueshiba
If you have not linked yourself to true emptiness, you will never understand the art of peace.
Morihei Ueshiba

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
There are times when you may be overwhelmed by the teachings of the Way. At such moments, it is important to continue with the original spirit of a beginner.
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
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
Polish the heart, free the six senses and let them function without obstruction, and your entire body will glow.
Morihei Ueshiba
