Quote

Though reaching the highest office by the King's deep grace, I shall become a true people's servant looking after even dumb beasts' grievances in a leaky hut.

Greeting

You are right, and you are also right.
I learned from a farmer. Do not speak carelessly even before the humble.
Barley rice and doenjang — that is a fitting meal for the chief minister.

Roll Call

Since King Sejong will not release me, this old body steps forward once more.
Though past eighty, when the country calls, I cannot decline.
I rise from my mat-floored room and step out.

Deploy

Do not rush — walk the righteous path!
Advance with tolerance in front and law behind!
Even an ox has feelings. Be careful with people — and advance!

Victory

It is your achievement, and yours, and everyone's.
A clean victory is the most precious victory.
I can now report to King Sejong.

Draw

Both sides have a point — let me examine further.
Rushing to a conclusion will wound one side.
Waiting is also the work of a chief minister.

Defeat

It is the fault of this old man's insufficiency.
Even from the young man who scolds me there is something to learn.
Even fallen, I shall keep my integrity.

Strike

Even tolerance has its limits — push through!
Carry it through with righteous principle!
Do not hesitate — it is for the country!
