I wanted to go back find some proper ancient philosophers and see if their words and still helpful in the modern era. Also hearing more wisdom is always good i have their quotes for your viewing pleasure if you're reading this wei description. 

Thales of Miletus

A multitude of words is no proof of a prudent mind.

Sun Tzu

Prohibit the taking of omens, and do away with superstitious doubts. Then, until death itself comes, no calamity need be feared. 

Gautuma Buddha (yeah that Buddha)

Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.

Xenophon 

self-confidence should always ride side by side with a strong sense of humility.
