“The attitude, “You can win if you want to badly enough,” means that the will to win is constant. No amount of punishment, no amount of effort, no condition is too “tough” to take in order to win. Such an attitude can be developed only if winning is closely tied to the practitioner’s ideals and dreams.”

“I'm moving and not moving at all. I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking.

The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.”

“Be like water making its way through crack.

If nothing within you stays rigid outward thigs will disclose themselves.
Moving be like water.
Still be like a mirror.
Respond like an echo.”
