"The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement." - Miyamoto Musashi

If you set your mind on the sword your mind is taken up with the sword. If you set your mind on timing, your mind is taken up with timing. In either case, your mind lingers and your action falters. Such is how noble men are put into the earth. - Takuan

"When you are quiet, your mind shouldn't be quiet; when you're moving fast, your mind shouldn't be moving at all. Your mind shouldn't follow your body, nor should your body follow your mind. Your mind must be cautious while your body is not. Your mind should lack nothing while having no excess." - Miyamoto Musashi

He who is intent on dying can be murdered. He who is quick to anger can be insulted. He who is self-conscious can be humiliated. He who is compassionate can be troubled. But the commander whose mind is focused, and whose soul is taken up by the strike, he will know victory. - from Akodo's "Leadership"
