One of the quotes featured in the movie Ghost Dog
There is something to be learned from a rainstorm.
When meeting with a sudden shower, you try
not to get wet and run quickly along the road.
By doing such things as passing under the eaves
of houses, you still get wet. When you are
resolved from the beginning, you will not be
perplexed, though you will still get the same
soaking. This understanding extends to all things.
Ghost Dog, Chapter 22, T01:32:25 (quoted from: Hagakure: The Book of the Samauri)
