“The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them.”

Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.

Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.

Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

Be detached from desire your whole life long.

Accept everything just the way it is.

Do nothing that is of no use.
