Simplicity is the key to brilliance

Showing off is the fool's idea of glory.

It is not a daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials.

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to act in the presence of fear.

To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is.

I believe it was the great ogre philosopher Gary who observed that complexity is, generally speaking, an illusion of conscious desire. All things exist in as simple a form as necessity dictates. When a thing is labeled 'complex,' that's just a roundabout way of saying you're not observant enough to understand it.
