Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train." - Morihei Ueshiba "The fountain of content must spring up in the mind, and he who hath so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts and multiply the grief he proposes to remove." - Samuel Johnson "Always remember that the future comes one day at a time." - Dean Acheson "Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer." - Morihei Ueshiba "Among the maxims on Lord Naoshige's wall, there was this one: 'Matters of great concern should be treated lightly.' Master Ittei commented, 'Matters of small concern should be treated seriously.'
