Miyamoto Musashi

“Do not turn against the way of the world as it has come down through the ages.”

“Do not do things that serve no purpose.”

“Of the two kinds of seeing, perception and sight, let the eye of perception be strong and the eye of sight weak.”

“Take emptiness as the Way, and see the Way as emptiness.”

“There is rhythm in everything, but the rhythm of strategy cannot be reached without training.”

“A thousand days of practice is forging; ten thousand days of practice is tempering.”
