Apply the way of karate to all things. Therein lies its beauty.

The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

What you have been taught by listening to others' words you will forget very quickly; what you have learned with your whole body you will remember for the rest of your life.

True karate is this: that in daily life one's mind and body be trained and developed in a spirit of humility, and that in critical times, one be devoted utterly to the cause of justice.

Seek perfection of character. Be faithful. Endeavor. Respect others. Refrain from violent behaviour.

Once a kata has been learned, it must be practised repeatedly until it can be applied in an emergency, for knowledge of just the sequence of a kata in karate is useless.

In battle, do not think that you have to win. Think rather that you do not have to lose.

No matter how you may excel in the art of Karate, and in your scholastic endeavors, nothing is more important than your behavior and your humanity as observed in daily life.

Spirit first, technique second.

Only through training will a person learn his own weaknesses... He who is aware of his weaknesses will remain master of himself in any situation.

Beginners must master low stance and posture, natural body positions are for the advanced.

Live the future when it comes, not now, only when it comes! Now, only live the now!

We were on for six years. We were in syndication for a while. It had its run. I still see the people from 'Mr. Belvedere,' too. We stay in touch.

In this world second thoughts, it seems, are best.

My mom grew up in Kansas, my dad in Indiana. They had boring childhoods.

These are hard times. The world hurts. We live in fear and forget to walk with hope. But hope has not forgotten you. So ask it to dinner. It's probably hungry and would appreciate the invitation.

Death does frame a person and somehow it is the good that stays.

The most important thing in changing human behavior is the person's motivation.

Live theatre provides a rush you can't get in film or television. But it is the TV and film work that offers the leisure to go off and do a play.
