What are some Ed Parker quotes that you find helpful in motivating yourself in training or in daily life? I like "He who hesitates meditates in the horizontal position"

The saying goes............ "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6".

I like Ed Parker's Quote about Oganizations

"All good organizations take an occaisional enema if they plan to remain healthy."

Nice! I'll have to remember that one. My fav. is probably the "it's not whose right but whose left..." but since that one's already taken I'll go with "I'd rather have 10 tecniques that fight for me than a hundred that fight against me."

Some one was asking about my sig?

It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Another favortie is "Although the belt colors show it is not proof that you know"

"We do not await we create."

Statement by Mr. Parker during a seminar at Mr. Wedlake's studio in Chicago shortly before his death.

"Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect."

I first heard this told to my son during Swim Practice by his swim coach. I later learned that she had been a Kenpo student in High School and that this was Mr. Parker's quote.

" Seek martial arts knowledge with the utmost scrutiny. Do not become entranced by impractical or useless movements. Above all, do not be categorized as one who learns more and more about less and less until he ends up learning everything there is to know about nothing".
