True Victory is Victory Over Oneself

正勝吾勝 (masakatsu agatsu)

The Japanese phrase 正勝吾勝 meaning "True Victory is Victory Over Oneself" was coined by Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido. The phrase is composed of the kanji 正 (read masa) meaning "correct; true", 勝 (read katsu) meaning "victory", 吾 (read a) meaning "self" and 勝 (read gatsu) meaning "victory".
