BEST QUOTES 2015 FROM HAGAKURE :THE BOOK OF THE SAMURAI (PART 1)

¤There was a certain point in the conversation when a retainer of Lord Nabeshima Naohiro said, " there are no men here upon whom the master can truly rely. Although I am constantly useless, I am the only one who would throw away his life for you". It is said that Lord Naohiro got outrageously angry come saying, " among are retainers there is not a one who holds his life in regret! You are talking in arrogance!". And he was at the point of striking in when the man was pulled away by the others who are there.

¤To put forth great effort in correcting the persons bad habits is the way it should be done. One should be like the digger wasp. It is said that even with an adopted child, if you teach him continually so that he will resemble you, he surely will.

¤In assessing the enemy's castle, there is a saying that goes," smoke and mist are like looking at a Spring Mountain. After the rain is like viewing a clear day". There is weakness in perfect clarity.

¤Be truth to the thought of the moment and avoid distractions. Other than continuing to exert yourself, enter into nothing else, but go to the extent of living single thought by single thought.

¤When meeting calamities or difficult situations come it is not enough to simply say that one is not at all flustered. When meeting difficult situations, one should dash bravely and with joy. It is the crossing on a single barrier it is like the saying " the more water, the higher the boat."
