I come to you with only Karate; empty hands; I have no weapons. But should I be forced to defend myself, my honor, or my principles; should it be a matter of life or death, or right or wrong; then here are my weapons: my empty hands.

I do not choose to be a common individual. It is my right to be uncommon, if I can. I seek opportunity, not security. I do no not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the State look after me. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, to face the world boldly and say: "This I have done." All this is what it means to be an American.
