“The Way of the warrior is the resolute acceptance of death.”

Do not collect weapons or practice with weapons beyond what is useful.

Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

If you know the way broadly you will see it in everything.

Do not seek to possess either goods or fiefs for your old age.

Do not fear death.

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.

Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.

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