The first priority to the ninja is to win without fighting.

When weak or injured always continue training as you should always be able to adapt in any condition.

Forget your sadness, anger, grudges and hatred. Let them pass like smoke caught in a breeze. Do not indulge yourself in such feelings.

Always be able to kill your students

Learning a technique is not an end in itself, it merely indicates where you need to start.

Any place we can breathe, we can do Ninjutsu.

No more talk. I'm sick of people talking. Train.

You've got to learn to utilize the space (between you and your opponent). Distancing is very important.

You are not punching them; it is your going into kamae that punches them.

Nature is your friend; it helps you to win. Your enemy will have unnatural movement, therefore you will be able to know what he is going to do before he does it.

One should not be happy or distressed over desirables and undesirables, knowing that such feelings are just created by the mind.

They are definitely pros and cons to triple threat matches. The cons to them is obviously coming up wth something very original and making sure everything makes sense.

Populus me sibilat, at mihi plaudo Ipse domi stimul ac nummos contemplar in arca. (The public hiss at me, but I cheer myself when in my own house I contemplate the coins in my strong-box.)

Full of thrills and tension - but smart and human too.

You can't take my joy, because you didn't give it to me

It is hard to stay focused with so much swirling around me. God is distracting. He never stops talking, and I can never stop listening. There is a reason we sleep.

Thou art a woman, And that is saying the best and worst of thee.

A generous prayer is never presented in vain; the petition may be refused, but the petitioner is always, I believe, rewarded by some gracious visitation.

Poverty, discrimination, and ignorance restrict growth.
