A dojo is not someplace where you should aim to become strong. Its a place for penance, a place to reflect on what you've done. And to live like a true human being. So people shouldn't misunderstand what a dojo is about. They shouldn't have any illusions. A dojo isn't something with a concrete form. Every day is a dojo, wherever you are. (Masaaki Hatsumi)
Let nothing disturb you, nothing scare you; all things are passing, God never changes! Patient endurance attains all things; who God possesses in nothing is wanting; alone God suffices. (St. Teresa of Avila)
