good quotes!

this thread is seriously missing some Bruce

Bruce Lee said:
I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers, or leaves. It is futile to argue as to which leaf, which design of branches, or which attractive flower you like; when you understand the root, you understand all its blossoming.

Mas Oyama said:
If someone asked me what a human being ought to devote the maximum of his time to, I would answer, "Training." Train more than you sleep.

Son Duk Sung said:
The taekwondoist must try to bring each effort to the point at which the kick is so fast it cannot be followed by the human eye. After several years of 50 to 100 kicks a day with each foot, the taekwondoist will be surprised to find that his kicks are indeed becoming very fast. He will get there only by relentless practice. It will be worth it.
 
one more...on my sentimental side...

"Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life."

I can resist anything, except temptation. AFAIK- me

You wouldn't tell them if they ripped your fingernails off, you wouldn't tell them if they poked your eyes out, you wouldn't tell them if they put hot coals too your feet. No, you wouldn't tell them unless they ASKED YOU! - Bud Abbot to Lew Costello
 
I have heard the temptation quote before.
 
"He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have."

"From the deepest desires often comes the deadliest hate."


"If all of our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, from whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart."

"As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take the course he will. He will be sure to repent."
- Socrates
 
"The art of a warrior is to balance the terror of being a man with the wonder of being a man".

"The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or as a curse".


Last one...

"A warrior must focus his attention on the link between himself and his death. Without remorse or sadness or worrying, he must focus his attention on the fact that he does not have time and let his acts flow accordingly. He must let each of his acts be his last battle on earth. Only under those conditions will his acts have their rightful power. Otherwise they will be, for as long as he lives, the acts of a fool".
 
Nothing takes the place of perceverance. Talent will not; there is nothing more common than men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perserverance and determination alone are omnipotent.
Calvin Coolidge
I do not fail, I simply succeed at finding out what doesn't work.

A little more than a qoute but still one of my favorites......


"Most Satanists do not accept Satan as an anthropomorphic being with
cloven hooves, a barbed tail, and horns. He merely represents a force
in nature - the powers of darkness which have been named just that
because no religion has taken these forces out of the darkness. Nor has
science been able to apply technical terminology to this force. It is
an untapped resivoir that few can make use of because they lack the
ability use a tool without having to first break down and label all the
parts which make it run. It is this incessant need to analyze which
prohibits most people from taking advantage of this many faceted key to
the unknown - which the Satanist chooses to call "Satan"." -The Satanic
Bible, Anton Szandor LaVey :angel:
