The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.
释义:当遭受他人的侮辱时,要能做到面不改色,保持常态;察觉到别人的过失,绝不四处宣扬;发现对方的奸诈意图,也不会因愤怒而立即摊牌。真正的关键在于,要将自己的才能与锋芒隐藏起来,耐心等待最适合行动的时机。一个人若立志成为翱翔天际的苍鹰,就不要去参与枝头鸟雀的无谓争斗。
"When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
All behavior is ultimately reducible to physical and chemical processes.
