Quote

You are to be proud of your enemy; then the success of your enemy is your success also.

Inazō NitobeBushido: The Soul of Japan

Note

This quote reframes competition through an internal lens of honor and respect. It leans toward an internal standard, suggesting that one's sense of achievement comes not from defeating others but from the dignity found in respecting worthy opponents and learning from their strength.
