“Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.”

“In fighting and in everyday life you should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. An elevated spirit is weak and a low spirit is weak. Do not let the enemy see your spirit.”
The Way of strategy is the Way of nature. When you appreciate the power of nature, knowing the rhythm of any situation, you will be able to hit the enemy naturally and strike naturally.
It is said the warrior's is the twofold Way of pen and sword, and he should have a taste for both Ways.
Language does not extend to explaining the Way in detail, but it can be grasped intuitively.
Fixedness means a dead hand. Pliability is a living hand. You must bear this in mind.
From one thing, know ten thousand things.

“Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death”

“Do nothing which is of no use.”

“You win battles by knowing the enemy's timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect.”
“Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”
“People in this world look at things mistakenly, and think that what they do not understand must be the void. This is not the true void. It is bewilderment...”
“All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this.”
“Aspire to be like Mt. Fuji, with such a broad and solid foundation that the strongest earthquake cannot move you, and so tall that the greatest enterprises of common men seem insignificant from your lofty perspective. With your mind as high as Mt Fuji you can see all things clearly. And you can see all the forces that shape events; not just the things happening near to you.”
