No matter if a person has no natural talent in these areas, tirelessly practicing, he will be able to acquire the necessary skills.

This principle - long path is the shortest - applies not only to roads.

First think about the correct and fair;
Second, thoroughly perfection on the Path.
Third, to comprehend all the arts;
Fourth - know the ways of all things;
Fifth - recognize the advantages and inferiority of all things;
Sixth - weigh the dignity of all, remember use;
Seventh - pronti and that unknown to the eye;
Eighth - pay attention even to the minor;
Ninth - don't do pointless things.

Today overcome yourself of yesterday; tomorrow you will win the lowest of men.

Every weapon has its time and place.

People in our world wrongly see things, believing that everything they don't understand must be the void. This is not true emptiness. This is a misconception.
