Daniel: You could have killed him, couldn't you? 
Mr. Miyagi: Aiy. 
Daniel: Well, Why didn't you? 
Mr. Miyagi:: Because Daniel, for man with no forgiveness in heart, life worse punishment than death. 
[Walking through the Okinawa airport, Daniel and Miyagi see a poster advertising Sato's karate school. The poster shows Sato breaking a log with his bare hands.] 
Daniel: You think you could break a log like that? 
Mr. Miyagi: Don't know. Never been attacked by a tree. 
Daniel: If you and Sato fought, would your father be the referee? 
Mr. Miyagi: No referee. 
Daniel: Then how do you know who wins? 
Mr. Miyagi: The one who's dead, doesn't. 
Daniel-san, never put passion before principle. Even if win, you lose. 
"Daniel-san, it is not quantity of Karate, but quality of Karate that counts"
"Daniel-san! Daniel-san! It okay lose to opponent, must not lose to fear!"
