Talent is just long patience.

用谦虚培养自己的品质，用修德提高自己的思想，用仁爱对待天下万物，用道德教诲子孙后代。

We've had vicious kings, and we've had idiot kings, but I don't know if we've ever been cursed with a vicious idiot for a king!

The truth is always an insult or a joke.

求学的最大益处，在于自我改变气质。

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

译文：人生不能过于安逸闲散，有了可以不断追求的事业，才能收回安逸之心。日用花费必须要节俭，只有杜绝奢靡，才能彰显勤俭的美德。赏析：生于忧患死于安乐。逸豫可以亡身，忧劳可以兴国。一个人过于安逸，就会无所事事，丧失斗志。一粥一饭当思来之不易，半丝半缕恒念物力维艰。

 Better to choose the freedom of poverty than the slavery of wealth.
