Book of Five Rings
- -Think without dishonesty....
- -Forge yourself in the way....
- -Touch upon all of the arts....
- -Know the way of all occupations....
- -Know the advantages and disadvantages of all things....
- -Develop a discerning eye in all matters....
- -Understand what cannot be seen by the eye....
- -Pay attention to even the small things....
- -Do not involve yourself in the impractical....
- -Do not intend to rely upon anything....
- -Respect the gods,but do not depend upon them....
- -Although you give up your life, do not give up your honor....
Perhaps impossible standards to live by. But then again, perhaps it is the intent, the desire, and the effort that is important?
