If the successor son can be assisted, assist him; if he is not talented, you can yourself replace him.” [Zhūgě] Liàng wept and said: “I Your Servant will exhaust my strength as your arm and leg, devoted to loyal and chaste integrity, continuing it to death!”

I am only concerned for you and your brothers. Strive on, strive on! Do not because an evil is small yet do it. Do not because a good is small yet not do it!
