“The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants ”
Gichin Funakoshi

“Karate is like boiling water: without heat, it returns to it's tepid state”
Gichin Funakoshi, The Twenty Guiding Principles of Karate: The Spiritual Legacy of the Master

“Any man will be able, after sufficient practice, to accomplish remarkable feats of strength, but he may go only so far and no farther. There is a limit to human physical strength that no one can exceed.”
Gichin Funakoshi, Karate-Do: My Way of Life
