disregard one's own safety(forget about one's own safety)

measureless(a vast expanse of)

flee before somebody

one's eagerness to look for worthies and virtuous officials

Literary discipline and Martial Culture

Cruel and cruel

be soft inside despite one's hard shell

Give up eating for fear of choking

without form or substance

Look into the dust

be in the street(be on the pavement)

keep an eye on the main chance

hear the news and rise up in response

bend the chimney and remove the fuel(make provisions before troubles occur)

Unknown talent

be at the end of one's resources

have no one to depend on

much ado about nothing

be all against reasons and the will of Heaven

do all manner of evil
