WastelandWanderer

One day in the summer of 2007 I was about to go out when I was looking through the TV channels, I saw a Chuck Liddell highlight followed by a Diego Sanchez highlight, and I've been an MMAJunkie since then

"Well, the war is over... All that is left for us is to fight to our heart's content. Our goal is Ieyasu Tokugawa's head!" - Yukimura Sanada

"Arouse a bee and it will come at you with the force of a dragon." - Shingen Takeda

"The ultimate aim of martial arts is not having to use them" - Musashi Miyamoto

"True warriors are fierce because their training is fierce." - Musashi Miyamoto

"It is said that the inferior seek to emulate the superior. Thus, if a general slackens only a little, those beneath him will be greatly negligent." - Kiyomasa Kato

"Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death" - Kenshin Uesugi

"Rectitude carried to excess hardens into stiffness; benevolence indulged beyond measure sinks into weakness." - Masamune Date

"Without destruction there is no creation... there is no change" - Nobunaga Oda

"If you wish for peace, then prepare for war" - Nobunaga Oda

"Those who cling to life die, and those who defy death live." - Kenshin Uesugi

"Peace is achieved with rice and salt, not with katanas and arrows" - Kenshin Uesugi

"Knowledge is not power, it is only potential. Applying that knowledge is power. Understanding why and when to apply that knowledge is wisdom!" - Shingen Takeda

"If a man does not investigate into the matter of bushido daily, it will be difficult for him to die a brave and manly death." - Kiyomasa Kato

"One should put forth great effort in matters of learning. One should read books concerning military matters, and direct his attention exclusively to the virtues of loyalty and filial piety. Reading Chinese poetry, linked verse, and waka is forbidden. One will surely become womanized if he gives his heart such knowledge of such elegant and delicate refinements. Having been born into the house of a warrior, one's intentions should be to grasp the long and the short swords and to die" - Kiyomasa Kato

"As for the decorum at the time of a campaign, one must be mindful that he is a samurai. A person who loves beautification where it is unnecessary is fit for punishment." - Kiyomasa Kato

"Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world" - Musashi Miyamoto

"Do not let the body be dragged along by mind nor the mind be dragged along by the body" - Musashi Miyamoto

"There is no one way to salvation, whatever the manner in which a man may proceed. All forms and variations are governed by the eternal intelligence of the Universe that enables a man to approach perfection. It may be in the arts of music and painting or it may be in commerce, law, or medicine. It may be in the study of war or the study of peace. Each is as important as any other. Spiritual enlightenment through religious meditation such as Zen or in any other way is as viable and functional as any "Way."... A person should study as they see fit." - Musashi Miyamoto

"You can only fight the way you practice" - Musashi Miyamoto

"Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals" - Musashi Miyamoto

"Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything." - Musashi Miyamoto

"Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden." - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient." - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"After victory, tighten the cords of your helmet." - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"Little Bird if you do not sing for me, I will wait for you" - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"Remember, slow and steady wins the race." - - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou have passed through. Forbearance is the root of all quietness and assurance forever." - Ieyasu Tokugawa

"Men with discrimination will be viewed as schemers; second, men with deep far-sightedness will be seen as cowards; and third, men with rough behaviour will be mistaken for real warriors. These are great errors." - Shingen Takeda

"Learning is to a man as the leaves and branches are to a tree, and it can be said that he should not be without it." - Shingen Takeda

"A man with deep far-sightedness will survey both the beginning and the end of a situation and continually consider its every facet as important." - Shingen Takeda

"One who was born in the house of a warrior, regardless of his rank or class, first acquaints himself with a man of military feats and achievements in loyalty....Everyone knows that if a man doesn't hold filial piety toward his own parents he would also neglect his duties toward his lord. Such a neglect means a disloyalty toward humanity. Therefore such a man doesn't deserve to be called 'samurai'." - Shingen Takeda

"Zen has no secrets other than seriously thinking about life and death." - Shingen Takeda

"Honour may not win power, but it wins respect. And respect earns power." - Mitsunari Ishida

"I should stop expecting so much".- Mitsunari Ishida

"Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, and like a forest it's easy to lose your way … to get lost … to forget where you came in" - Hanzo Hattori

"If on your journey you should encounter GOD, GOD will be cut" - Hanzo Hattori
