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

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.

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.

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

What does the Lord God requires of us:To love what is good.To do justice.To do what is right.

Learn by reading, listening, observing, imitating, and emulating.

You were born for the Kingdom of God

The most important thinganyone who is looking at a career, especially students, can do is toremember that strengthening and developing your employ-abilityis your personal responsibility.

If you believe...you will!

Always remember that you have been called worse things by better people.

Too easy to lose the way. Too hard to keep from unraveling when there’s nothing to remind you of who you are and where you should be. Another eternity passes in the flick of an eyelash.

I would do the occasional score. I thought it was the most thrilling thing. It was instant. You made the music and they played it right away to millions of people. I found it thrilling.

I feel like when I was an adolescent, and felt so unworthy of love and so empty, I moved outside of myself.
