A Moment of Patience, a Moment of Silence
Huang Tingjian (1045 - 1105, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
To emerge from a hundred battles victorious
is nevertheless inferior to a moment of patience;
To make ten thousand appropriate comments
is nevertheless inferior to a moment of silence.
── from Quan Song Shi (Complete Collection of Song Poems)
