"Men do not beat drums before hunting tigers."

"A violent man does not die of natural death."

"When you see a worthy person, endeavour to emulate him. When you see an unworthy person, then examine your inner self."

"Running, he saves his own life and that of the tiger. This is not cowardice. It is the love of life."

"When hungry, eat rice. When tired, close your eyes. When being attacked by murderous enemies, keep fighting."

"Don't think. Feel! It's like a finger pointing to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you'll miss all that heavenly glory."

"Avoid, rather than check. Check, rather than hurt. Hurt, rather than maim. Maim, rather than kill. For all life is precious, and none can be replaced."

"The man who focuses on the balance of power becomes the most powerful."

"Time is a predator that stalks us all our lives."
