One of the DEEPEST quotes I've EVER read
 

I study books of strategy such as The Art of War by Sun Tzu and now The Book of 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi.

In The Book of 5 Rings, Musashi states:


"No contest can ever reveal truth, only real combat. Thus, the path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant."



^^Beautiful

I got a quote for all the lazy people in the world....

"To do nothing at all is the most difficult thing in the world, the most difficult and the most intellectual." - Oscar Wilde

"simple minds conversate on people, avid interlectual minds on world events and great minds on ideas"

roflz. I got a simple, intellectual, great mind.

Another excerpt from The book of 5 rings:


"It is the fierce spirit of a warrior that cuts down his opponents. Therefore, you should strive to gain the warrior's spirit and you will be victorious with long sword, short sword, or no sword at all. You will win because you will fight for victory using any means necessary to kill your opponent."



^^Man that's awesome...

Q is showing off his cool side.

The side that shuts the fuck up about himself and starts getting in awe of others.

Dude...don't assume shit...

just enjoy the quotes.

nah bro..

your in the middle of that spectrum...



straight up...

ive never heard of the book of 5 rings,whats that book about? and where is it derived from

Book by a Japanese Samurai...written in 1645...is a resource for gaining insight into the mind of the warrior spirit and the art of strategy...

Like The Art of War, it's about how to gain advantage over your opposition...

But, 5 rings focuses mainly on how to win during confrontation...

Also, just like The Art of War, it's truly about being in control of one's self.

Lol thanks thats ny quote haha


but a sick is one from muhammad ali its something like

in order to be the greatest, you have to believe youre the greatest

No contest can ever reveal truth, only real combat. Thus, the path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant."


ok first off thats not a dope quote.its gay..........thats probally why you like it.ignorant means to not want to learn what you dont know.if you dont know then you cant possible be concealing the truth because you dont know what it is.not to mention that the question will remain..... what is truth?what may be true to me may not be to you.truth is only what the majoritys thoughts are on a matter.even death is not truth because some people believe that the body adds to the life of the earth and therefore continues to live on while others believe in a afterlife therefore believing that you never actually die because to die is to end and eternal life is to live forever.if i am always told that the sky is green and i believe that in my heart to be true then even when the sky is blue,i will still say it is green and that will be MY truth.the truth of the majority will be that it is blue and therefore that will be considered the truth.maybe everyone else is wrong and then what?understand?probally not and thats the problem..........

You think way too hard, it's a dope quite man.

its not.it cant be dope if it dont make sense and it leads people to believe that untrue nonsense

More from "5 Rings"...



"Study every other art. You must be able to create beauty; watch for the good and evil in all things; stay keenly aware of those things that you can not see; study the details; avoid things that are useless."

I would agree, except there's one thing we disagree on.

The fact that you can critically fucking think. Maybe you should re-read and re-apply. Lol @ all the bullshit you just overloaded at nothing.

Here, let me break it down for you, budd-o.

"No contest can ever reveal truth, only real combat. Thus, the path that leads to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant."

The contest is to reveal the truth of WHO IS BETTER. Contest - Tournament - Battle, etc. So by saying no contest can reveal who is better, it's saying that essentially, the littered bodies of the ignorant were trying to find out who was better by fighting to the death, lost, and though still might have been better, lost their fucking lives. 'Cuz they ignorant.

Basically, all it says is that there are good and bad things to fight to the death for, but being better than another person can only be decided momentarily, and whether you win or lose just counts for that one time, but to lose is losing the chance to ever see if you'll be better- again.

I won't ask if you understand it anymore. Just keep reading my description, you just really failed to understand it here.

And as for the rest of you, don't break down a quote until you're sure you know what it means. :thumbup:

All I have to say is...check this book out...

I'm reading about "strategic posture" now...It even tells you how to maintain your facial features when in combat or engaged in conflict with someone...


E.G....Narrow the eyes...Don't wrinkle the forehead...Flare your nostrils...and keep your head straight...


^^coo stuff

why do you insist on calling him out for his errors..rather than just keeping your response positive?

Why do you insist on coming in a thread about "The 5 Rings" but making it about YOUR inability to come in a thread about "The 5 Rings" and acknowledging the purpose of it?

lmao..answering a question with a question..that's one way to save face i guess...don't speak to me unless you have something of value to say...all you do is bitch about rv...and yet you continue to post...and instead of just appreciating what people have to contribute...you feel it is necessary to call them out on shit that isn't even important.

the funny thing is...if this was somebody elses thread..you wouldn't give two shits about the purpose of it.

we all know this without proof...but just so you can't argue...here is some proof



this was in response to 2v saying "nigga" in adams thread...
you're selfish and insecure to the point where you have trouble saying something positive about somebody else..without trying to bring them down at the same time...and to top it all off...you're a hypocrite who would rather call people out for the same things that you do...than defend yourself in a respectable manner.

this seems odd to me...combat is a contest.

the only way this makes sense...or...isn't redundant i should say..is if musashi is meaning combat in an entirely different context than the way it is implied.

I'm not even going to read that long, drawn-out, WORTHLESS reply.




Uppin this for it's intended purposes.






1

aka "i read it...and don't have shit to say"

if you wanna argue that...here is the short version...you're a lame...insecure...selfish..and a hypocrite.


if you really cared about the intended purposes...why don't you fucking respond to what i had to say about the quote?

you don't give a shit about the intended purposes..you want people to feed your ego.

Fifty said " I get money.. Money I got" deepest shit ever..

noppee I'm suprised noones dropped some Vince Lombardi quotes yet

thats fuckin retarded. so in real combat ppl can't die? metaphors got holes in it

" dont eat pussy, it will make the bitches wet" bruce springsteen.
no but really
" time is an illusion with purpose" some cool guy

"gentlemen, get used to this play you see on the board..because it's the play we're going to run again..and again.......and again"

not his best..or very profound...but it's one of my favorites.

the art of war was written by a man who never seen actual combat.the 5 rings is the same thing.so your studing war from two people who have never experienced it.pay me and ill teach you about the center of the earth.ill just tell you what i hear:/

The life of Sun Tzu was written by a man who never actually saw Sun Tzu. Neither the writer of 5 rings. But he'll still try to teach us that neither of them knew anything that they were talking about, because they were never in battle.

Roflz. Can you do a cart wheel?

I wanted to bring up this old thread to state that Cali is a fuckng idiot.

The book of 5 rings was written by a man who's never seen actual combat?

Miyamoto Musashi was Japan's GREATEST swordfighter to have ever lived. He was in over hundreds of duels with various weapons and never lost once. Anyone he faced, he outskilled and killed. No man could stand before him, only tremble.

You don't know wtf you're saying.

And to Tha Q, he wasn't a samurai either. Samurai's serve a master and Miyamoto had no master. He was a Ronin, not a samurai.

Oh and he was in Wars too. But he never served the people responsible for these wars, he served himself in these Wars. He was like a mercanary for hire, he didn't care about polotics, he just wanted to discover himself through combat.

Errr...Semantics...because the definition of a Ronin is a samurai who had renounced his clan or who had been discharged or ostracized and had become a wanderer without a lord; an outcast; an outlaw.



In any case...the book is awesome...classic...

Should also check out this modern one written by the US Marines called "War Fighting"...


That book is like poetry man...

"The key is to be ruthlessly opportunistic..." ..."A good plan executed with violence NOW is better than a perfect plan executed a week later"


LOVE IT
