“Napoleon, the greatest of the conquerors, is a sufficient proof that great men of action are criminals, and therefore, not geniuses. One can understand him by thinking of the tremendous intensity with which he tried to escape from himself. There is this element in all the conquerors, great or small.

― Kisshomaru Ueshiba, The Spirit of Aikido

“When you bow deeply to the universe, it bows back; when you call out the name of God, it echoes inside you.”
