Tokugawa Ieyasu

Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.

Read quote

Find fault with thyself rather than with others.

Read quote

Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.

Read quote

Life is like unto a long journey with a heavy burden.

Read quote

The strong, manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one's inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, love, fear, grief, and hate; and if a man does not give way to these, he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience.
