• Good technique includes quick changes, great variety and speed. It may be a system of reversals much like a concept of God and the Devil. In the speed of events, which one is really in charge? Do they change places with lightning speed? The Chinese believe so. To put the heart of the martial arts in your own heart and have it be a part of you means total comprehension.

• A good teacher can never be fixed in a routine... each moment requires a sensitive mind that is constantly changing and constantly adapting. A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favourite pattern; a good teacher functions as a pointer, exposing his student's vulnerability and causing him to explore both internally and finally integrating himself with his being. Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately.

• Forgiveness is like the martial arts of consciousness.
  In Aikido and, other martial arts, we sidestep our attackers force rather than resisting it.
  The energy of the attack then boomerangs back in the direction of the attacker.
  Our power lies in remaining nonreactive. Forgiveness works in the same way.
  When we attack back, and defense is a form of attack, we initiate a war that no one can win.

  Marianne Williamson
