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.

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

Always watch the hands. The hands will tell you everything you need to know.

I make my battle plans from the spirit of my sleeping soldiers
