Before he died, Zhuge Liang said an eight-word famous saying: Do your best and die.

from "The Last Teacher"-Zhuge Liang

Original text: Everything is like this, and it is hard to see it irreversibly. I do my best to die; As for failure and bluntness, it is beyond the knowledge of the minister.

Translation: Everything is so unpredictable. I have to do my best to rest until I die. As for whether the conquest of Wei and Xing Han was a success or a failure, whether it was smooth or difficult, it was not foreseeable by the intelligence of the liegeman.
