Intolerance of trifles ruins great plans

The phrase above was by a sage and quoted by Sima Yi trying to persuade his generals and commanders that combat was not an option despite the repeated taunts of Kongming's troops. This was Kongming's last expedition as he died due to stress and overwork.

The phrase above has various interpretations.

We need to learn the art of working together for a common cause. Unity is very important. As the saying goes, "united we stand, divided we fall".
