Miyamoto Musashi

Do not seek pleasure for its own sake.

Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

Be detached from desire your whole life long.

Accept everything just the way it is.

Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself or others.

Never stray from the Way.

Even when your spirit is calm do not let your body relax, and when your body is relaxed do not let your spirit slacken. Do not let your spirit be influenced by your body, or your body be influenced by your spirit.
