Give the peasants neither life nor death.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient.

Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.

To come to know your enemy, first you must become his friend, and once you become his friend, all his defences come down. Then you can choose the most fitting method for his demise.

Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.
