By being impatient, matters are damaged and great works cannot be done

By bringing shame to a person, how could one expect to make him a better man?

A warrior should not say something fainthearted, even casually. He should set his mind to this beforehand. Even in trifling matters the depths of one's heart can be seen.

Singlemindedness is all-powerful.

In the eyes of mercy, no one should have hateful thoughts. Feel pity for the man who is even more at fault. The area and size of mercy is limitless.

When one is writing a letter, he should think that the recipient will make it into a hanging scroll.

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.
