All I Really Need to Know I Learned From Mr. Miyagi

"Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," just like grape. Understand?"

"No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher."

"In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants."

"First learn stand, then learn fly. Nature rule, Daniel-san, not mine."

"Don't forget to breathe, very important."

"Just remember, license never replace eye, ear, and brain."

"Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life. Whole life have a balance. Everything be better. Understand?"

"For man with no forgiveness in heart, life worse punishment than death."

"Never put passion before principle. Even if win, you lose."

"Aha... here are the Two Rules of Miyagi-Ryu Karate. Rule Number One: 'Karate for defense only.' Rule Number Two: 'First learn Rule Number One.'"
