True victory is victory over oneself.

Focus on stillness, rather than on movement

To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.

Those who are enlightened never stop forging themselves.

Those who have a warped mind, a mind of discord, have been defeated from the beginning.

Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything.

The Art of Peace begins with you.

Progress comes to those who train and train; reliance on secret techniques will get you nowhere.

Life itself is always a trial. In training, you must test and polish yourself in order to face the great challenges of life.

Now and again, it is necessary to seclude yourself among deep mountain and hidden valleys to restore your link to the source of life.

Be grateful even for hardship, setbacks, and bad people. Dealing with such obstacles is an essential part of training in the Art of Peace.

Failure is the key to success; each mistake teaches us something.

Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.

A warrior's mission is to foster the success of others.

I joke around a lot about the manic times because they're funny. We manics do outrageous things and it is part of our colorful nature.
