“The Art of Peace is the principle of nonresistance. Because it is nonresistant it is victorious from the beginning. Those with evil intentions or contentious thoughts are instantly vanquished. The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

“In Aikido we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any kind of challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally. Let attackers come any way they like and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it.”
― Morihei Ueshiba

“The penetrating brilliance of swords
Wielded by followers of the Way
Strikes at the evil enemy
Lurking deep within
Their own souls and bodies.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace

“To injure an opponent is to injure yourself. To control aggression without inflicting injury is the Art of Peace.”
― Morihei Ueshiba, The Art of Peace
