He who acts with a constant view to his own advantage will be much murmured against.

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.

He who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

I mean, if a person acts irresponsibly in his own life, he will pay the consequences. And it's not so much divine retribution as it's built into the law of nature.

The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.
