To Get Strength

Training is not knowledge and knowledge is not strength.  But combine knowledge with training and one will get strength.
—  The Book Of Sinanju
[I have a large number of “quotes” in my journal which are simply attributed to “House of Sinanju”.  I am sure they are all (each) from one of the 70+ books in “The Destroyer” series (co-written by Richard Sapir & Warren Murphy) which I was reading back in the 1970’s.  I didn’t record which book each quote came out of at the time I found them.  So, I’m just leaving them as recorded.  If anyone finds the book with the quote in it, and lets me know, I will be happy to attribute the quote accurately.  —  KMAB]

The Ideal Man

“The ideal man,” Remo said, “has a calm within him, a peace that is linked to the forces of the world.  The ideal man seeks no unnecessary danger but accepts whatever danger there is, knowing that death is a natural part of life, knowing that it is how he dies, not when, that matters.  I see the ideal man capable of sitting quietly for hours, his long, thin hands resting at peace upon his robes.  I see the ideal man in command of his craft and doing what he must do as well as man can do it.  I see the ideal man as a teacher of someone he loves.”

Bloom

In the world there are hundreds of flowers that bloom, each with its own beauty.  Yet not one depends on the other’s admission of it.  Beauty is beauty and one should accept the beauty that is his.  For it is his only; his and no one else’s.
