不要等待完美的时刻,抓住这一刻并让它变得完美。
Don't wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect.
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」。
Progress happens when we stop blaming and start solving.

Maybe every man has had two such women, at least two. Married to a red rose, over time, the red becomes a mosquito blood stain on the wall, while the white remains "moonlight before the bed"; married to a white rose, the white becomes a grain of sticky rice on the clothes, while the red remains a cinnabar mole on the heart.
The true genius shudders at incompleteness — and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it ought to be.
我们必须保持好奇心,永远不要停止对周围世界的质疑。
个体本身就是一个谬误。
我对现实和梦想之间的空间感兴趣。
