Additional quotes by Miyamoto Musashi

Do not act following customary beliefs

Just as a horse must have endurance and no defects, so it is with weapons. Horses should walk strongly, and swords and companion swords should cut strongly. Spears and halberds must stand up to heavy use: bows and guns must be sturdy. Weapons should be hardy rather than decorative.

It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener in a war.

It is said the warrior’s is the twofold Way of pen and sword, and he should have a taste - Miyamoto Musashi
