人の世には、道は一つということはない。道はいくつもある。

In this human world, the path is never singular. There are always multiple paths.

To know sufficiency is itself happiness.

No evil is honorable: but death is honorable; therefore death is not evil.

-- Zeno of Citium

Thank God, I have done my duty.

-- Britain's greatest naval hero

He who is ashamed of slave origins is no true warrior.

-- The Mamluk sultan who stopped the Mongol advance at Ain Jalut

My victories have left sufficient offspring: Leuctra and Mantinea.

-- The Theban general who shattered Sparta's military supremacy at Leuctra

If I can make even one person happy in my lifetime, that is my own happiness.

-- Yasunari Kawabata

わたしはこの「ぼんやりした不安」のために苦しんでいる。

-- Ryunosuke Akutagawa
