I have read a lot of books that have helped me on my martial path. I will from time to time post some quotes from these books that I really found helpful and inspiring. I will be sure to give these authors the credit they deserve. Here are some from "Living the Martial Way"......
Forrest E. Morgan. Living the Martial Way : A Manual for the Way a Modern Warrior Should Think (Kindle Locations 267-268). Kindle Edition.
"The Martial Way is a discipline devoted to the perfection of character. It's a very personal pursuit in which the student turns his attention inward. He evaluates the strength of his spirit and sets about polishing those facets that need work."
Forrest E. Morgan. Living the Martial Way : A Manual for the Way a Modern Warrior Should Think (Kindle Locations 277-278). Kindle Edition.
"The warrior doesn't train for others to see him. He trains because he is a warrior and perfecting his spirit is his lifetime objective. The master of The Martial Way needs no one to reinforce his self-image with praise or reward; he is self contained. As a result, he is just as satisfied to train alone, and he is alone in a crowd."
