Personal quotes
Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely yourown.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.
Simplicity is the last step of art.
A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to thetruth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merelya catalyst.
When an opportunity in a fight presents itself, "I" don't hit, "it" hitsall by itself.
Empty your mind. Become formless and shapeless like water. When water ispoured into a cup, it becomes the cup. When water is poured into ateapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, my friend.
