Quotes from Uesugi Kenshin

Peace is achieved with rice and salt, not with katanas and arrows

Go to the battlefield firmly confident of victory and you will come home with no wounds whatsoever.

Those who cling to life die, and those who defy death live.

Wars are to be won with swords and spears, not with rice and salt.

Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death.
