We must listen to the land and the animals—they have much to teach us about sustainable practices.

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

追求声名的人必然会危害其自身，广积财富的人必然会给后代带来灾祸。行善作恶迟迟得不到报应，并不是上天疏忽大意，而是上天想成全君子而灭掉小人。灾祸和福祚是上天用来表示慈爱之心的手段，就像雷雨雪霜一样，都是为了培育滋养万物。所以君子担心有灾祸便恭敬戒惧，小人得了便宜便忘了危险。君子害怕祸来反而会招来福祉，小人以疏忽之心看待福祉反而会招来灾祸，这就是《左传》所说的「祸福没有定数，全由各人自召」。

"Silence can be the loudest scream."
