1. People are not born with knowledge, how can they be free from confusion?

2. One vigorous effort, then decline, three times it will be exhausted.

3. Sweet melon and bitter stem, nothing in the world is perfect.

4. Whoever plants a tree will cultivate roots, and whoever plants virtue will cultivate his heart.

5. Play a thousand tunes and then the sound will dawn; watch a thousand swords and then recognize the weapon.

6. Stay calm to cultivate your character, and be frugal to cultivate your virtue. -Zhuge Liang
