The way of the Samurai is found in death (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
All abilities come from one mind (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one’s power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
I have found that the way of the samurai is death. This means that when you are compelled to choose between life and death, you must quickly choose death (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
By inconsistency and frivolity we stray from the Way and show ourselves to be beginners. In this we do much harm (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
The Four Oaths: Never be late with respect to the way of the warrior; be useful to the lord; be respectful to your parents; get beyond love and grief: exist for the good of man (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Not to borrow the strength of another, nor to rely on one’s own strength; to cut off past and future thoughts, and not to live within the everyday mind... then the Great Way is right before your eyes (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
One’s appearance bespeaks dignity corresponding to the depth of his character. One’s concentrated effort, serene attitude, taciturn air, courteous disposition, thoroughly polite bearing, gritted teeth with a piercing look - each of these reveals dignity. Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day one should meditate on being carried away by surging waves, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. There is a saying of the elders that goes, ‘Step from under the eaves and you’re a dead man. Leave the gate and the enemy is waiting.’ This is not a matter of being careful. It is to consider oneself as dead beforehand. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
The Four Oaths: Never be late with respect to the way of the warrior; be useful to the lord; be respectful to your parents; get beyond love and grief: exist for the good of man. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Whether people be of high or low birth, rich or poor, old or young, enlightened or confused, they are all alike in that they will one day die. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
All of us want to live, and that is absolutely natural. However, we should learn from childhood on to choose our best way to die. If we don’t do that, we end up spending our days like a dog, only in search of harbour, food and expressing a blind loyalty to his owner in return. That isn’t enough to make our lives have a meaning. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Even if one’s head were to be suddenly cut off, he should be able to do one more action with certainty. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
When someone is giving you his opinion, you should receive it with deep gratitude even though it is worthless. If you don’t, he will not tell you the things that he has seen and heard about you again. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
When meeting difficult situations, one should dash forward bravely and with joy (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Death seems to be a long way off. Is this not shallow thinking? It is worthless and is only a joke within a dream. It will not do to think in such a way and be negligent. Insofar as death is always at one’s door, one should make sufficient effort and act quickly. (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Matters of small concern should be treated seriously (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
When confronted with two alternatives, life and death, one is to choose death without hesitation (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
It is difficult for a fool’s habits to change to selflessness (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
The deepest love is often hidden (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
By being impatient, matters are damaged and great works cannot be done (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
There are few people who will make mistakes with fire after having once been burned (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Purity is something that cannot be attained except by piling effort upon effort (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Having only wisdom and talent is the lowest tier of usefulness (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
As everything in this world is but a sham. Death is the only sincerity (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Tether even a roasted chicken (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
Continue to spur a running horse (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
The end is important in all things (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
One should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths (Yamamoto Tsunetomo Quotes)
