have the courage to act and dare to take the responsibility

Great wits have short memories.

limited outlook(so far as my humble view can see)

unrewardable merit

vast land and numerous people(be large and populous)

retire and return to one's hometown

buy and sell at reasonabe prices

rest in peace

have the courage to act and dare to take the responsibility

kill one's own kindred

cast a mist before somebody's eyes

Stretch the truth

Advantageous to both public and private interest

luster forefathers and benefit future generations(win praise for one's ancestors and enrich one's posterity)

a matchless hero

a great din of drums and pipes(resounded with strains of music)

take somebody off his guard(catch a weasel asleep)

sorrow-stricken

highly esteemed kindness and invaluable friendship

be more worthiless than pigs
