Code of Bushido

Gi: Honesty and Justice

 * Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people.
 * Believe in justice, not from other people, but from yourself.
 * To a true samurai, there are no shades of grey in honesty and justice, there is only right and wrong.

Yu: Heroic Courage

 * Rise up above the masses of people who are afraid to act. Hiding like a turtle in a shell is not living at all.
 * Heroic courage is not blind. It is intelligent and strong. Replace fear with respect and caution.

Jin: Compassion

 * Through intense training, the samurai becomes quick and strong. He develops a power that must be used for the good of all.
 * He helps his fellow humans at every opportunity. If an opportunity does not arise, he goes out of his way to find one.

Rei: Respect/Courtesy

 * Samurai do not need to prove their strength. A samurai is courteous, even to his enemies.
 * Without this outward show of respect, we are nothing more than animals.
 * The true inner strength of a samurai becomes very apparent during times of stress

Meiyo: Honour

 * The true samurai has only one judge of his honour, and that is himself.
 * Decisions you make and how these decisions are carried out reflect who you truly are.
 * You cannot hide from yourself.

Makoto: Honesty

 * When a samurai has said he will perform an action, it is as good as done.
 * Nothing on the earth will stop him from completing what he has said he will do.
 * He does not have to promise. The act of speaking alone has set the act of doing in motion.

Chugi: Duty and Loyalty

 * A samurai who has done something or said something owns that thing. He is responsible for it and all consequences that follow.
 * To those he is responsible for, he remains fiercely true.
