daring greatly


"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." 

~ Theodore Roosevelt

A Samurai’s Creed


A Samurai’s Creed
Anonymous, Circa 1300


I have no parents; 
I make the heaven and earth my mother and father.
 
I have no home; 
I make awareness my dwelling.
 
I have no life and death; 
I make the tides of breathing my life and death.

I have no divine power; 
I make honesty my divine power.

I have no means; 
I make understanding my means.

I have no magic secrets; 
I make character my magic secret.

I have no body; 
I make endurance my body.

I have no eyes; 
I make the flash of lightning my eyes.

I have no ears; 
I make sensibility my ears.

I have no limbs; 
I make promptness my limbs.

I have no strategy; 
I make “unshadowed by thought” my strategy

I have no designs; 
I make “seizing opportunity by the forelock” my design.

I have no miracles; 
I make right action my miracle.

I have no principles; 
I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles.

I have no tactics; 
I make emptiness and fullness my tactics.

I have no talents; 
I make ready wit my talent.

I have no friends; 
I make my mind my friend.

I have no enemy; 
I make carelessness my enemy.

I have no armor; 
I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.

I have no castle; 
I make immovable mind my castle.

I have no sword; 
I make absence of self my sword.
