About this Quote

The quote by Edward Zwick speaks to the long-standing history of Samurai culture and its moral code. The Samurai were a class of warriors in feudal Japan who were known for their strict adherence to a code of honor and commitment. This code, referred to as Bushido, was based upon the concepts of guts, honor, commitment, and respect. It was believed that by following these concepts, a Samurai could accomplish a greater level of spiritual enlightenment. The quote recommends that the Samurai culture was not only a physical force, however also a moral one, with its own set of values and beliefs that could be used to guide one's life. This code of honor was highly appreciated and celebrated by the Samurai, and it is still viewed as a source of inspiration today.
