Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“It is spiritless to think that you cannot attain to that which you have seen and heard the masters attain. The masters are men. You are also a man. If you think that you will be inferior in doing something, you will be on that road very soon.”
Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“If a warrior is not unattached to life and death, he will be of no use whatsoever. The saying that “All abilities come from one mind” sounds as though it has to do with sentient matters, but it is in fact a matter of being unattached to life and death. With such non-attachment one can accomplish any feat.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“Matters of great concern should be treated lightly.” Master Ittei commented, “Matters of small concern should be treated seriously.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“If one is but secure at the foundation, he will not be pained by departure from minor details or affairs that are contrary to expectation. But in the end, the details of a matter are important. The right and wrong of one's way of doing things are found in trivial matters.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“It is a wretched thing that the young men of today are so contriving and so proud of their material posessions. Men with contriving hearts are lacking in duty. Lacking in duty, they will have no self-respect.”
Yamamoto Tsunetomo, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai
