I have no…
I have no parents: I make the heavens and earth my parents.
I have no home: I make awareness my home.
I have no divine power: I make honesty my divine power.
I have no means: I make understanding my means.
I have no magic secrets: I make character my magic secret.
I have no miracles: I make right action my miracles.
I have no friends: I make my mind my friend.
I have no enemy: I make carelessness my enemy.
I have no armour: I make benevolence and righteousness my armour.
~ Samurai Warrior 14th century Japan
