The real truth lies below the surface.

Don't entertain others at the expense of your reputation.

During times of persistent hardship is when the warrior learns the most about his fortitude.

The superior man responds; the inferior man reacts.

Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it...Don't allow his anger to become your anger.

Warriors do not lower themselves to the standards of other people; they live independently according to their own standards and code of honor.

Your enemies have to know that you are a formidable foe and that coming against you will cost them more than their effort is worth. With men of low character, it pays to maintain a reputation of being strong.

Don't feel the need to vent or complain, no matter how badly you would like to express your feelings. When it comes to speaking of those in power, always think of the consequences. Think about how those around you will perceive what you have to say. Will what you say be of advantage to you or will it hurt you in the end?

Respect is both earned and lost.

All respect is earned, even self-respect.

When you react, you let other control you. When you respond, you are in control.

The man who does not plan for the future will come to regret it.

Protecting yourself is self-defense. Protecting others is warriorship.

Only an honorable victory is a true victory.

Protecting yourself is self defense. Protecting others is warriorship.

Think for yourself at all times.

Don't seek to be respected by everyone, rather seek to be worthy of being respected by everyone.

I don't always do what's NICE, but I will always do what's RIGHT.

Face your fears and you will be able to conquer them.

If your thoughts are not right, your actions won't be right.
