    How about;

    "武道は礼に始まり礼に終る"

    "Budo wa rei ni hajimari rei ni owaru"

    "Budo starts and ends with correct manners"

    That might cover all the ends you wanted covered?

    I liked your post very much, as I consider it vital for each person to know and live by such quotes or aphorisms. In Kongozen Shorinji Kempo, we have the following quotes or characteristics that we live by:
    1. Ken Zen Ichinyo (Mind and Body are one)
    2. Go Ju Ittai (Hard and Soft work together)
    3. Kumite Shutai (Pairwork is fundamental in training)
    4. Fusatsu Katsujin Ken (Not to kill but to give life)
    5. Shushu Koju (Defense preceeds offense)
    6. Riki Ai Funi (Strength and Love work together)

    These are the foundations on which Kongo Zen Shorinji Kempo is built. The Founder Kaiso Doshin So, did an excellant job here.
