He who cannot overcome his own demons could never defeat another

How can a man commit acts of martial valour if he values his life?

I will stand off the forces of the entire country here... and die a resplendent death.

He who cannot overcome his own demons could never defeat another

If you will take it into your mind to be sincere in throwing away your life for your master, you will not have the slightest fear or trembling even with the advent of innumerable impending calamities.

The foundation of a man's duty as a man is in truth. Beyond this there is nothing to be said.

A man who has been born into the house of a warrior and yet places no loyalty in his heart and thinks only of the fortune of his position will be flattering on the surface and construct schemes in his heart, will forsake righteousness and not reflect on his shame, and will stain the warrior's name of his household to later generations. This is truly regrettable.
