Judo helps us to understand that worry is a waste of energy.

It is not important to be better than someone else, but to be better than yesterday.

Face your fear, empty yourself, trust your own voice, let go of control, have faith in outcomes, connect with a larger purpose, derive meaning from the struggle.

If there is effort, there is always accomplishment.

Nothing under the sun is greater than education. By educating one person and sending him into the society of his generation, we make a contribution extending a hundred generations to come.

The purpose of the study of judo is to perfect yourself and to contribute to society.

To ask may be but a moment's shame, not to ask and remain ignorant is a lifelong shame.

Walk a single path, becoming neither cocky with victory nor broken with defeat, without forgetting caution when all is quiet or becoming frightened when danger threatens.

The pine fought the storm and broke. The willow yielded to the wind and snow and did not break. Practice Jiu-Jitsu in just this way.

Carefully observe oneself and one's situation, carefully observe others, and carefully observe one's environment. Consider fully, act decisively.

Walk a single path, become neither cocky with victory nor broken with defeat.

Every thought precedes an action.

The best master is the one who raises many more masters and much more important than this, who creates masters even much better than himself!

Peace, unity and harmony!

Sometimes you just don't like somebody

The State is the sum total of the sacrifice, on its behalf, of its members.

If you're not playing a big enough game, you'll screw up the game you're playing just to give yourself something to do.

Truth reveals itself in beauty.

I have always been a good mimic.

Perception is less of a recording system and more of a protection system against external stimuli.

At some point in life's journey, professionally and personally, we have to be able to trust our preparation.
