Additional quotes by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

Los asuntos menores deben ser estudiados con seriedad. Hay pocos problemas realmente importantes, solamente se presentan más de dos o tres en toda una existencia. Una reflexión cotidiana os convencerá. Es por ello que es indispensable prever lo que conviene hacer en caso de crisis. Cuando ésta se manifieste, habrá que acordarse de la solución, para resolverla en consecuencia. Sin una preparación cotidiana, cuando sobrevenga una crisis delicada, se será incapaz de tomar una decisión rápida, lo que conlleva el riesgo de consecuencias desastrosas.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.
