“Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior.”

Karl Von Clausewitz

"The more you sweat in training, the less you will bleed in battle." - Motto of Navy Seals

"Civilize the mind but make savage the body." - Chairman Mao

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level
of our training"

"Victory is reserved for those who are willing to pay it's price." - Sun Tzu

"The Ultimate Warrior leaves no openings - Except in his mind." - Seishinkan ITP

"My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed."
- Yi Sunshin, Last letter to an old friend.

"Tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice." - Samurai maxim

“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.” - Carlos Castaneda

    I love the last part of the quote, "...nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one..." Unfortunately the American way is now about the average man :-(.

    Join Golds if you want to be average, join BBCF if you want to forget what average is.

    Motto at BUD/s

    Everyday we push ourselves just a little bit harder and everyday we grow stronger both mentally and physically.

    Great quotes!
