I was a kid when these movies first came out and while I found them fun, I was too young to truly appreciate the wisdom they contained. Now as an adult of 41 years and watching the way the world is going, I see the fundamental wisdom of his words and wish more people knew and understood the same. R.I.P. Pat Morita.

Even though Mr. Miyagi is a fictional character his wisdom is absolutely practical and timeless in a lot of ways by not only interjecting the ethical aspects of Human Nature, But also applying Humor and Practicality to almost any scenario, My Favorite Miyagi Moment is from the Second Movie where Him and Daniel see an advertisement of Sato breaking a Log and Daniel ascertains whether or not Mr. Miyagi can doIt as well, Mr. Miyagi perfectly replies “Don’t know, never been attacked by Tree.”

I love the video, but in my opinion the best Miyagi words of wisdom was left out. When they are on the fishing boat, Miyagi says "Why, fighting is fighting, same, same." Daniel says, "But you knew karate." Then Miyagi says one of the best, most correct lines ever (and not just about karate, but about anything in life)....."Someone else, always knows more."

[@varavarala313]

Somone has to be best tho

[@joaosoares-rr5mj]

for me, the bests lines are when miyagi says that war is just an horrible thing, and that we should always avoid conflict. i just loove when he says "i hate figthing" is amazing... because this is pure... he is someone who had to fight to survive, and even so, hated it...

It’s ok to lose to opponent, but you must never lose to fear

[@blueyedjackel]

I know this quote wasn't in the video but my fav Miyagi quote which still speaks to me every day: "Daniel-san, never put passion before principle. Even if win . . . . you lose." WHAT I LEARNT: He's talking about compromising an invaluable part of one's self. A tradeoff to one's own detriment. QUOTE CONTEXT: Mr Miyagi was recalling when he was 18, he had broken tradition and dishonoured his best friend Sato by marrying a girl he loved Yuki who Sato was arranged to marry. Sato challenged Miyagi to a fight to regain his honour. PRINCIPLE: Miyagi didn't believe in fighting, or that violence, (possibly being killed) would solve the conflict. Rather than restoration, it would make matters worse by harbouring animosity and perpetuating future cycles of violence. Miyagi was taught to only use violence (Karate) in defence and as an absolute last resort, which he eventually agreed to when Sato threatened to destroy their village and sell the land if he didn't. Growing up Mr Miyagi fondly remembered the good memories of his childhood with Sato, a highly valued relationship. Mr Miyagi's actions, however, put him in a moral dilemma. He's forced to choose between his love for Yuki (PASSION) and its consequences which would result in a violent and possibly deadly confrontation with Sato, OR stay true to his (PRINCIPLE) of no fighting which due to Sato not being able to be reasoned with caused Miyagi reluctantly made the very difficult decision to leave Okinawa believing it to be the better of two evils. Principles are truth statements, and truth ties us to reality. We all build our lives on truth (principles), they inform our actions and help shape our worldviews. Passion, however, is an innate drive within that feeds on the specific desires of a person. (Good or bad) Passion should never be allowed unimpeded free reign over principle but must always be submissive to it. Allowing one's emotions alone to influence judgment and dictate actions, making decisions and acting in the heat of the moment is a disaster waiting to happen. If you allow passion to jeopardize principle (Truth) you risk undermining your own foundations. The two must work in unison.

[@madblank]

This was one of the best ones. Ballance and principles/honor are the most important things imho.

[@wylie4637]

I’m glad someone brought up this one, this quote plays in my head constantly everytime I feel I need to make a decision regarding passion vs principle. Am I making this decision because it benefits me? Or am I making this decision because it’s the right thing to do.

[@DosExavier88]

@@wylie4637 Yeah. Then when we do violate our conscience with what we know we should do vs what we want to do, we often get a false sense of pleasure because there is sometimes no immediate consequence. But one way or another we pay the piper eventually for our choices in delayed or unforeseen and unintended ways. kzbin.info/www/bejne/infXeJd6mr-errM

The best Miyagism isn't shown in this video. It's the scene where Daniel and him first walk into the all valley tournament competition area. Upon entering, Daniel asks Mr. Miyagi where to go. Mr. Miyagi says something like "First time you first time me!" Daniel then says something like "Oh great, any other advice?". Mr. Miyagi replies "Don't get hit!". Maybe it's not the best Miyagism, but it's sound advice for a karate tournament newbie 👌
