Your favorite martial arts quote..

[EDBruce]

What is your favorite martial arts quote? This is my personal favorite:

"The wood should fear your hand--not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it--you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin." -- Pai Mai

Nice Quote Ed....there are several quotes that I like but I think this would have to qualify as one of my favorites:

"Knowledge does not grow like a tree where you dig a hole, plant your feet, cover them with dirt, and pour water on them daily. Knowledge grows with time, work, and dedicated effort. It cannot come by any other means." -- Ed Parker.

Empty your mind, be formless, shapless. Like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.
You put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or creep or drip - or crash!
Be water my friend.
- Bruce Lee

Here is a quote that I really like:

"In true budo there is no enemy or opponent. True budo is to become one with the universe, not train to become powerful or to throw down some opponent. Rather we train in hopes of being of some use, however small our role may be, in the task of bringing peace to mankind around the world." - Morihei Ueshiba

Here are two quotes from Bruce Lee that I really like. There are several this site called Fighting Master.

A fight is not won by one punch or kick. Either learn to endure or hire a bodyguard.

Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
