Why did you tell me these things?
Because you wanted to hear them.

There are two kinds of fools: the ignorant and the stupid.
An ignorant man puts his hand into the fire because he does not know it will burn him. Once he is burned, he will never do it again.
A stupid man will keep putting his hand into the fire, because he will not learn.
When you lead men, remember this lesson. Teach them what they must know. A student is blameless for their ignorance. He only does what his teacher tells him.

The queen of ants cannot count her servants, but she knows that they are loyal. Though the Emperor does not know of me, still, I know of him. And it is the Emperor, and Hantei alone, that I follow. With every word and deed, I do his bidding. Even the ants in the field can say as much, though they do not know their queen.
