It is not good to settle into a set of opinions. It is a mistake to put forth effort and obtain some understanding and then stop at that. At first putting forth great effort to be sure that you have grasped the basics, then practicing so that they may come to fruition is something that will never stop for your whole lifetime. Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that you have discovered, but simply think, This is not enough. β¨ Yamamoto Tsunetomo (2012). Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, p.17, Shambhala Publications
