Lorsque je suis attaqué, je reste calme quelles que soient les circonstances. Je ne suis atttaché ni à la vie, ni à la mort. Je laisse tout tel qu'il est à Dieu. Détachez-vous de la vie ou de la mort et ayez un esprit pret à laisser tout à Dieu, non seulement quand vous etes attaqué, mais également dans chaque instant de votre vie.
Morihei Ueshiba
La pratique de l'Aikido, Budo éditions 1998
Morihei Ueshiba en 1939
"Budo is not a means of felling the opponent by force or by lethal weapons. Neither is it intended to lead the world to destruction by arms and other illegitimate means. True Budo calls for bringing the inner energy of the universe in order, protecting the peace of the world, as well as preserving, everything in nature in its right form. If your opponent tries to pull you, let him pull. Don't pull against him; pull in unison with him.
Aikido does not rely on weapons or brute force to succeed; instead we put ourselves in tune with the universe, maintain peace in our own realms, nurture life, and prevent death and destruction. The true meaning of the term 'samurai' is one who serves and adheres to the power of love. "
-- Morihei Ueshiba, O' Sensei, founder of Aikido
