Morihei Ueshiba Enemy Quotations

FACE A SINGLE FOE as if you are facing ten thousand enemies; face ten thousand enemies as a single foe.

Aiki is not a technique to fight with or defeat an enemy. It is the way to reconcile the world and make human beings one family.

In true budo there is no enemy or opponent. True budo is to become one with the universe, not train to become powerful or to throw down some opponent. Rather we train in hopes of being of some use, however small our role may be, in the task of bringing peace to mankind around the world.

True victory does not come from defeating an enemy, true victory comes from giving love and changing an enemies heart.

The penetrating brilliance of swords, wielded by followers of the Way, strikes at the evil enemy, lurking deep within, their own souls and bodies.
