Patience means restraining one's inclinations.
— Tokugawa Ieyasu
Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Give the peasants neither life nor death.
The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.
Forbearance is the root of quietness and assurance forever.
Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou have passed through. Forbearance is the root of all quietness and assurance forever.
When ambitious desires arise in thy heart, recall the days of extremity thou has passed through.
Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden.
