Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.
Give the peasants neither life nor death.
Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden.
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
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.
Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
