Life is a song, dance to it.

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

读书人要为自己的一生爱惜名誉，不应为这一生出卖名誉。治理诗书，崇尚气节，谨慎取予，严肃仪表，这就是爱惜名誉。相互竞争标榜，攀附权贵，出尽风头，不分是非，这就是出卖名誉。爱惜名誉的人清静无为，出卖名誉的人急躁而拙劣。所以读书人要管理钱财正当用途，而不是浪费金钱。救济乡亲，聘请老师教学，赈济荒年歉收，协助善行，这些是运用钱财。而花钱布置庭园，唱歌跳舞，大宴宾客，积聚宝物等，这些都是浪费金钱。善用金钱的人虽花钱但收获丰盈，伤财的人积聚多但终将倾覆。

Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

"True literature should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed."

译文：人过于贪婪，就像蛇吃掉大象一样可怕，远处的山峰一座还比一座高大。赏析：人的欲望太盛反而会害了自己，贪婪成性，得寸进尺往往会丢掉性命。人做事要量力而行，好高骛远会适得其反。
