"When you give your weakness permission to be because you understand that it is simply an expression of your strength, it tends to no longer be a weakness."

"The most obvious, most absurdly recognizable phenomena in day-to-day life often become the hardest to remain consciously aware of."
Mindfulness
"Our social contract is becoming an exchange of free thought for mindless stimuli."
Society
"The quality of your life is directly proportional to the positive effect you have on others' lives."
Life
"For the sincere student, it mustn't be enough to simply understand Jiu Jitsu. We must seek to understand ourselves."
Self-Growth
"Deep down I believe each of us is a well-spring of understanding and wisdom, but we simply never allow the space or time for this understanding to rise to the level of conscious thought."
Wisdom
"To know our values is to have a foundation on which to build a great life. Our environment and education will play a large part in influencing our formulation of this world view, but is ultimately ourselves that have the final say. We must decide what we value, and then live accordingly. After all, in the eyes of the world we could achieve great success, but if our actions do not coincide with what we ourselves truly deem worthy, we will find no peace."
Philosophy
"Thoreau and Huxley calmly state what I have spent years trying to articulate, and never found the words for doing so. To read the words of these great men is to read the highest expression of my very self which is inexpressible due to the shortcomings of my particular nature."
Creativity
"Jiu Jitsu provides a place of fellowship that, unfortunately, our society has largely failed to create."
Community
"I train Jiu Jitsu because I recognize that I am a piece of the whole, and as I grow so does that which contains me. The whole of man advances with the growth of a single individual. Every life I influence is benefited from the fact that I have devoted such a large portion of my life to this pursuit. I will be a better husband, father, and whatever other future roles I may hold because of my time in this sport. In making me a better man, I know that society as a whole is improved."
Growth
"If nothing lasts then everything has meaning. If everything dies that means we actually live."
Philosophy

"Honour pricks me on. Yea but how if honour prick me off when I come on? How then? Can honour set to a leg? No. Or an arm? No. Or take away the grief of a wound? No. Honour hath no skill in surgery then? No. What is honour? A word."
