Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden.
From Ieyasu Tokugawa
Give the peasants neither life nor death.
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.
Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through.
Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever.
