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
