Those quotes may be from the Hagakure.

Okay, here they go:
"If a Samurai's head were to be suddenly cut off, he will still be able to complete one more action with certainty."
"The way of the Samurai is one of immediacy. It is better to dash in, headlong..." I forgot the rest.
The reason why I asked is because I heard them on that movie "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" and thought it may have been the work of Miyamoto Musashi... but am unclear, as I could find none of these quotes in the book. Anyway, I apply that quote to the video game Halo and it really seems to work. But does anyone know where these quotes come from? If so, please let me know where and I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

Indeed the whole movie is based on the Hagakure. It is a fun one to watch.
Wow, awesome. This place is awesome and so is everyone here. So do you know where I can find this Hagakure? Good god, I want to read it so bad.

That's a compliment. Judging by your reaction that must be a rarity around here.

One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
and in the darkness BIND THEM
If you're looking for FIVE rings then I would advise going to mortal men doomed to die, I hear they have nine. Don't bother with the dwarves, only three were given to the dwarf lords in their halls of stone...
Enemies Strengthen,
Allies weaken.
UUuuhh... okay.

Thanks, everyone, for your help. I picked up Hagakure at a book/movie/music store called Hastings in Galveston, TX. while visiting family there. It's a great book and I love every word of it. I've been able to successfully interpret most of everything in it... the only things that don't make sense to me are the Haikus. Thanks, again, for your help, all.
