"In budo, too, there are three important essentials: first, seeing and knowing
oneself, one's own strengths and limitations; second, the sword of
discrimination, of decisiveness, for eliminating faults, weaknesses, and the
unnecessary; and last, the sincerity, feeling, devotion, insight, and
understanding of the heart.
There are three kinds of Budoka: ones that try to look strong, ones that try to
perfect their technique and ones that try to gain a good heart"
-Masaaki Hatsumi
"Our world is no more permanent than a wave rising on the ocean. Whatever our struggles and triumphs, however we may suffer them, all to soon they bleed into a wash, just like watery ink on paper."
