Warrior Quotes - Part VI

Quotes are good, but they're only 'surface knowledge'. It's always important to do in-depth research and seek deep understanding.
As well as research, it's also important to be thinking for yourself being analytical and drawing your own conclusions on the Way.

Over the past few weeks I've been sharing some of my favourite quotes regarding the way of Budo.
