A Nice Quote from an Emperor


It occurs to me while reading a biography of the Yongle Emperor (1360 –1424), the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty from 1402 to 1424, that he might have liked this blog. He told his citizens:

‘Whenever I can find the time, I read history books and the classics so as to avoid idle living. I constantly remind myself that the world is so vast and state affairs so important that I cannot succumb to laziness and complacency for even a moment. Once one has succumbed to laziness and complacency, everything will become stagnant.’


Well noted
