Wang Yangming’s famous sayings are as follows:

1. An undeniable fact is that this country has long been accustomed to self-deception, from the government to the people. Lies have become the cornerstone that holds everything together. With just a push, this illegal building filled with tofu will collapse.

2. Therefore, those who are determined have the heart to learn; those who are determined are the things that the scholar is determined to do.

4. Knowledge is the principle of action, action is the effort of knowledge, knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge. ?

5. The Chinese people who have been brainwashed by Success Studies for many years should ask themselves: Why are they still frustrated in their career despite reading Zeng Guofan every day? Why is Hu Xueyan still impoverished after studying him day and night?

6. Since the Three Emperors, all pre-Qin scholars, Han and Tang classics, Song and Ming Neo-Confucianism, all large and small propositions are ultimately attributed to these three words.

No matter how you test the three kings, knock on the sky and the earth, worship ghosts and gods, and wait for the saints, there is no such simple and precise way to teach the conscience.

7. Civil servants who lead troops are afraid of talking about war on paper. They understand the art of war but do not understand actual combat, leading to a Yuan Chonghuan-style tragedy. In fact, among the many officials at the Ministry of War, the one thing that has long been in short supply is those who talk high.

8. There is no good or disgusting body, and there are good and evil actions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and eliminating evil is observing things.

9. A serious illness in life is just a word of pride.
