Re: Sempai comments that stick with you...

Sensei: "Breathe." (This to me, not breathing, well and truly pinned through ikkyo.)

Me: "Sensei, is there anything I can do to help the dojo?"
Sensei: "Practice."

Chiba Sensei: "Whatever may be the difficulties you face, don't think you are alone. There are hundreds of people out there willing to help you. Okay?" (You had to be there: it was said with a conviction that makes despair impossible every time I recall those words.)
