Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with blood from people killing, stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks.

布施出去的很少，希望得到的回报却很多，这样的话，别人就不敢接受你的布施了。

富裕的人以舍得施贫为美德，贫穷的人以无所欲求为美德，显贵的人以平易近人为美德，平凡的人以无视权势为美德

虚心使人加倍高贵。

I think it's important to be kind and compassionate and to treat people with respect.

If you love a thing you will overcome all difficulties.
