An exhortation
Dynasty: Han dynasty
Author: Zhuge Liang
Original text:
A gentleman's journey is quiet to cultivate one's morality, and frugal to cultivate one's morality. If you don't stay in the garden, you will be unclear, restless and not far away. If you study quietly, you must study. If you don't study, you won't learn widely. If you have no ambition, you can't succeed. Slow can't have vitality, and risk can't have sex. Time goes by, meaning goes by, and then becomes withered, not meeting the world, and staying in a poor house sadly. What will happen?
(Tan Bo's first work: indifference; Slow work makes fine work: slow)
