When armies are mobilized and issues are joined,<br>The man who is sorry over the fact will win.

I have three treasures. Guard and keep them:<br>The first is deep love,<br>The second is frugality,<br>And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.<br>Because of deep love, one is courageous.<br>Because of frugality, one is generous.<br>Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

The more laws and order are made prominent,<br>The more thieves and robbers there will be.

He who knows does not speak.<br>He who speaks does not know.

There is no calamity greater than lavish desires.<br>There is no greater guilt than discontentment.<br>And there is not greater disaster than greed.

The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world.<br>Through this I know the advantage of taking no action.

Better fare hard with good men than feast it with bad.

As for me, except for an occasional heart attack, I feel as young as I ever did.
