Miyamoto Musashi

Inspirational and Motivational Quotes by Miyamoto Musashi

• Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye
  
  
• People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment...
  
  
• You should not have any special fondness for a particular weapon, or anything else, for that matter. Too much is the same as not enough. Without imitating anyone else, you should have as much weaponry as suits you
  
  
• Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you
  
  
• Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men
