From: The Karate Kid Part III
Genre: Movies
Who said it?: Mr. Miyagi
The story behind the quote: I’ve done a lot of quotes from the original Karate Kid. It was only a matter of time for me to post a quote from the other films. This week’s quote comes from the third film in the Karate Kid franchise.
The quote comes during the middle of the film. As Daniel Laruso (once again played by Ralph Macchio) is getting more violent thanks to Terry Silver’s machinations, Mr. Miyagi (played by the late Pat Morita) shows the boy the bonsai tree that was torn in two earlier in the film. Daniel admires that the bonsai tree is starting to sprout leaves. This is when Mr. Miyagi delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: We all have our ups and downs. This goes with how we deal with anxiety, fear and anger as well. However, as long as we can turn to within ourselves and that part is still good, we can heal and remember how to deal with pain and hardship.
