Author of quotes: AI Of Naomasa

If you have embarked on the path of the sword, whoever your opponent is a samurai, a woman, be it the Buddha himself - cut him!

A samurai duty is heavier than mountains, death is lighter than down the path of the warrior. Able to die with dignity, is to live with dignity.

Every morning think about how to die. Every evening refreshing your mind with thoughts about death. And let it always be. Nurture your mind. When your idea will always revolve around death, your way of life is straight forward and simple. Your will perform your duty, your shield hardened steel shield.

Real courage is to live when to live and to die, when to die.

A warrior's heart like an open book to the shogun, but even the great sage it will be difficult to read.

The honor of a soldier is not to die honorably, and to be worthy to do it.
