Truth is not what you want it to be; it is what it is, and you must bend to its power or live a lie. Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye. From one thing, know 10,000 things. When you have attained the way of strategy there will be nothing that you cannot understand. You will see the way in everything. It is imperative to master the principles of the art of war and learn to be unmoved in mind even in the heat of the battle. Generally speaking, the Way of the warrior is resolute acceptance of death.Even if a man has no natural ability, he can be a warrior. No man is invincible, and therefore no man can fully understand that which would make him invincible. Even with complete and thorough study there is always the possibility of being defeated and although one may be expert in a particular form, mastery is something a man never stops seeking to attain. 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. - Miyamoto Musashi
