寡過 [guǎ guò] [gua guo]—
The phrase originates from 《論語 [lun yu].憲問 [xian wen]》 (Analects, Xian Wen): "夫子欲寡其過而未能也 [fu zi yu gua qi guo er wei neng ye]" (The Master wished to make his faults few, but he has not been able to do so). It refers to 省身克己 [sheng shen ke ji] (self-reflection and self-discipline), aiming to gradually reduce one's 過失 [guo shi] (mistakes). In the Song Dynasty (宋 [song]), 蘇軾 [su shi] (Su Shi) wrote in his essay 《荀卿論 [xun qing lun]》 (On Xun Qing): "雖為聖人無難而不能者 [sui wei sheng ren wu nan er bu neng zhe],不失為而已矣 [bu shi wei er yi yi]" (Even for a 聖人 [sheng ren] (sage), though it is not difficult to do what others cannot, one should still not fail to achieve (few faults)).

寡過:語出《論語.憲問》:「夫子欲寡其過而未能也。」指省身克己,使過失日少。宋.蘇軾〈荀卿論〉:「雖為聖人無難而不能者,不失為寡過而已矣。」
