I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet.
我觉得自己先是一个诗人，然后才是个音乐家。我活着像个诗人，死后也还是个诗人。

译文：为人处世必须以忠厚老实的人为效仿对象，传承家业必须要把勤俭节约的习惯传给子孙后代。赏析：忠厚老实之人做事有自己的原则，他们不会耍心机，不会算计别人，这样的人值得我们尊重。不管是富贵或是贫穷，我们都应把勤俭节约的习惯放在心头。贫穷时不节俭，会更加贫穷，富贵时不节俭，万贯家财都会被败光。
教育是一种武器，其效果取决于谁掌握它以及它瞄准谁。
