Wang Yangming’s ten famous sayings are as follows:
1. God precedes the timing of heaven and does not go against people’s will, and promotes human affairs and achieves harmony with heaven. That is why “God helps me” and God is conscience. When you later come to heaven and respect heaven, you follow the will of heaven. Do you know what is right? If you follow the principles of heaven, your conscience is heaven.
2. The ruler of the body is the heart, what arises from the heart is the mind, the essence of the mind is knowledge, and the place of the mind is the object.

5. The truth of all things lies within my heart.
6. People need to grind on things before they can stand firm, be still and still, and be still and still.
