Some of my favorite quotes from The Art of Peace are:

The Art of Peace is invincible because it contends with nothing.

And...

The Art of Peace never restrains, restricts, or shackles anything. It embraces all and purifies everything.

And…

A warrior's mind and body must be permeated with enlightened wisdom and deep calm.

And my favorite…

Unite yourself to the cosmos, and the thought of transcendence will disappear. Transcendence belongs to the profane world. When all trace of transcendence vanishes, the true person - the Divine Being - is manifest. Empty yourself and let the Divine function..
Understanding the above comes from dynamic Aikido on the mat.

Go ahead, tread on me.
