Move like a beam of light;
Fly like lightning,
Strike like thunder,
Whirl in circles around
A stable center.Morihei Ueshiba
» Morihei Ueshiba - all quotes »
There was no blood upon her maiden robes
Sunn'd by those orient skies;
But round about the circles of the globes
Of her keen
And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
WISDOM, a name to shake
All evil dreams of power — a sacred name.
And when she spake,
Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder,
So was their meaning to her words. No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with his word
She shook the world.Alfred (Lord) Tennyson
Regarding technique, from ancient times it has been said that movements must fly like lightning and attacks must strike like thunder.
Morihei Ueshiba
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
Mark Twain
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
Samuel Langhorne (Mark Twain) Clemens
Thought can never capture the movement of life, it is much too slow. It is like lightning and thunder. They occur simultaneously, but sound, travelling slower than light, reaches you later, creating the illusion of two separate events.
