Samurai quotes

This application represents the best collection of colourful quotes of samurai, the warriors and strategists of medieval Japan. It contains the greatest quotes of the greatest samurai in the history and extracts from famous Japanese treatises dedicated to bushido, the way of a samurai.

The application will help you show your erudition to the best advantage in front of your friends, colleagues or business partners but can also be a source of interesting statuses for Facebook and other social networks.

It will also be very interesting to all those who study any combat sport, enjoy the history of Japan or like to play strategy games.

The application includes the feature to copy your favourite quote.

The application does not require any Internet connection!

The application will be improved and supplemented, and I would be happy if you send us your ideas by email.

The sources of quotations are the Hagakure’s treatise ‘Hidden by the Leaves’, the most famous treatise on the Japanese way of a samurai. The Book of Five Rings is a treatise on the art of strategy, and this book has become very popular in the business community of modern Japan, China and Korea as it helps develop strategic thinking.

Among the samurai are Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled Japan for 300 years; Takeda Shingen, one of the greatest strategists of Japan who did not lose a single battle, and other great samurai.

The image of a samurai, the warrior who puts honour and duty before life, inspired George Lucas to create the Jedi Knights and Star Wars. I hope these quotes will inspire you too.

I did my best to create this application and hoped you would get a lot of pleasant emotions. I wish you good luck, and may the force be with you!
