:Alien: Give me all your best martial arts quotes you can think up (or copy from others!!) :Alien::yeleyesMay they be cool, funny, philosophical, etc... EG: Pain is the best instructor, but no one wants to go to his class!!!!!!
Well ... I've got a lot of them. I kind of collect quotes Here's a link to about 150 (give or take a few) that I feel have some relevance to martial arts ... though the relevance may not be obvious. http://www.guild-hall.com/quotes.htm Mike
The tighter you hold on to life the more it slips away from you. When you face someone willing to die for his beliefs this is good, both you and he have the same aim in mind. Anyone who believes that they are truly ready to die, will. Bloodimindedness will defeat skill on all occasions. There are two ways to defeat an opponent. Work against them, or work with them. Absence of body is better than presence of mind. If you can't win a fair fight, cheat. If someone claims that weapons are for weaklings then I'd prefer to face them over one of their weaklings. Don't fear the brave man, fear the coward who will fight merely to deny his fear. If you are at someone's mercy pray that they are evil, since evil loves to gloat and mock. A good person will finish you without a word. Conscious thought and movement should never be linked, they merely hamper one another. If you can defend yourself then you can help defend a victim. Possessions can be replaced, a life cannot. Either everything is a weapon, or nothing truly is.
1) Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is 2) Silly Quote: When I was a child I prayed and prayed to the lord for a bicycle, but then I found out that god doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked for forgivness Those are absolutley my favorite quotes ever ^_^
ok here's mine... "My kungfu is Taekwondo" "wat u speak is wat u think n wat u think is wat u speak" exclusively by ur's truly -TkdWarrior-
Does Terry Pratchett count as a martial arts quote, CKDStudent? If so, I'll paraphrase Douglas Adams: The secret of a flying kick is to fall and miss the ground.
"Protect what you love, never destroy it." "At some point, fear will consume you, but that fear is all in your mind. Focus on what you've learned and why you live to turn that fear into hope." "No one is invinsible. There is weakness in us all." "We Must Band Together As Brothers...Or We'll Die Together As Fools."
One or two from the office, "You have to fully behind someone before you can stab them in the back" "If a problem halved is a problem shared, why haven't you done your half?" "Those of you who think you know everything are annoying to those of us who do." "There is no I in team, but theres a ME if you look hard enough" More serious type stuff "The only one who can beat me is me." - Michael Johnson "Neither man nor woman can be worth anything until they have discovered that they are fools. " - Lord Melbourne Not really a qoute but absolutely brilliant piece of songwriting has to be the last verse from SAD BUT TRUE by METALLICA. Absolutely brilliant "I'm your dream, make you real I'm your eyes when you must steal I'm your pain when can't feel SAD BUT TRUE I'm your truth, telling lies I'm your reason alibies I'm inside open your eyes I'm you"
I like the one in my tagline. It's from a novel by Robert Anton Wilson; and it has the same general import, though it's communicated differently, as that great line from Dr. Strangelove: "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
When you least expect it, it happens! To loose with honour is as good as winning. (I heard this on at the end of Fight Shool)
1. "it's in our nature to destroy ourselves" 2. "miracles are for those who don't believe that everything happens for a reason" 3. "Curiosity only kills stupid cats" 4. "Pain is weakness leaving the body...agony is what remains" #4 is my all time favourite...so true...yet...so fierce!
in a world of darkness the blind man is the best guide... in an insane world look to the truly insane to show the way.
