What are the noblest virtues of the Warrior? Courage to stand and boldness to strike, in obedience to the dictates of honor.

-86th Aphorism of the Codes-

In all things, let the true Warrior do what he must, confined in action only by the bonds of honor. Only in such a way can his Home Stone be served.

-89th Aphorism of the Codes-

In combat, as when marching, a Warrior will tread with both of his feet evenly, never favoring the one above the other. He will strike with both of his hands with equal force, never favoring the one above the other. He will see equally well with both of his eyes, never favoring the one above the other. Is it not folly to waste one-half of that which makes you a Warrior?

-70th Aphorism of the Codes-

The true warrior does not seek to enslave that which is by its nature free. That which lives free shall die free. That which is not free will suffer the chains of its own slavery.

-8th Aphorism of the Codes-

At the instant your foe decides to strike, strike. At the instant he decides to retreat, advance. There is no more powerful ally than the interrupted thoughts of your opponent, which tangle his wit and open the gate to Victory.

-26th Aphorism of the Codes-

If a Warrior draws the life blood of an enemy Warrior, and that blood is foul with cowardice, let him grind it into the dust! Any foe who has shed his blood upon your steel and yet lives, but whose blood nobly brightens your blade without sullying it, is your brother...Let a sword-bond exist between you henceforth.

The softest of things in the world penetrates swiftly the hardest. Insubstantial, it enters in where no room is, and conquers.

-6th Aphorism of the Codes-

A careless mind betrays, and the body whispers its secrets. In combat, see into your opponent's mind thus and you will conquer.

-25th Aphorism of the Codes-

When one strikes at his enemy, let him shout out the war cry of his city, that all may know and fear the Home Stone for which he fights. In all such conflicts let him focus his thoughts in such a way, even if he cries out only in his heart.

A Warrior is not quick to anger...nor does he take advantage of those who are not fortunate enough to be of his caste.
