It is better to look at the ocean and sigh, than to sink the cauldron

To worry about the situation in vain, it is better to take precautions

When the body and mind are exhausted, it is better to wait for work in leisure

To beat one's chest and feet, it is better to mend the situation

It is better to talk on paper than to speak from one's own experience

It is better to follow the rules/stop in moderation

It is better to be complacent/adherent/to abide by unswervingly than to win by surprise

It is better to act than to act

It is better to raise the pot to stop it from boiling than to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron

It is better to fight to the death than to wait for death
