Be yourself, don't change yourself to please others.

We have a responsibility, every one of us. We may think we live a long way from the oceans, but we don't. What we actually do here, has a direct effect on the oceans—and what the oceans do then reflects back on us.

出自汉·桓宽《盐铁论·刺义》。品德高尚的人不拒绝听取负薪之人的意见，其名声才能远播。所以见多识广的人知识广博，多听多闻的人拥有智慧，拒绝别人劝说的人心胸狭隘，一味相信自己的人必然孤立。

Having less is more; contentment leads to happiness.

爱上帝的人不能期望上帝回报他的爱。
