It is important that karate can be practiced by the young and old, men and women alike.

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.

Those who win never quit.Those who quit never win.

Success is climbing all the way up failure’s steep ladder.

Who you are today is the outcome of the choices you have made in the past. Choices that you will make today, will shape your future.

You. You are standing in your own way. And that means whatever it is scares you. It won't forever...but take your time. Nothing good was ever rushed.

How lucky have we been that the face of baseball for the past two decades, through ups and downs, has been Derek Jeter.

I feel an unfamiliar but pleasant sensation in my lips, tugging them upward. This is... new.

It’s not important how we play. If you have a Ferrari and I have a small car, to beat you in a race I have to break your wheel or put sugar in your tank.

Buffoons, buffoons! One can play any tune on them!
