[Sviatoslav]

The wise man was walking along the road and admires the beauty of nature. He saw a poor man walking with a heavy load.
- Why did you doom yourself to such misery? – asked wise man.
- I suffer for the happiness of my children and grandchildren? - he said. - My great-grandfather had suffered all his life for the happiness of my grandfather, my grandfather suffered for the happiness of my father, my father suffered for my happiness, and I will suffer all my life, but my children and grandchildren are happy.
- Was there someone in your family happy? – asked wise man.
- No, but my children and grandchildren will be happy! - replied the unfortunate man.
- Illiterate does not teach to read, and the mole not bring up the eagle, - said the wise man. – You must be happy first, then you will understand how to make happy your children and grandchildren!

[Gra-ach]

One who excels as a warrior does not appear formidable.
One who excels in fighting is never aroused in anger.
One who excels in defeating his enemies does not join issues.
One who excels in employing others humbles himself before them.
This is the virtue of non contention matching the sublimity of heaven.
When fear is removed, the arrogance of uncertainty is dispelled.
Therefore, it is no longer necessary to prove yourself in any form of combat.
By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.
