出自先秦《荀子·强国》。一个人知道爱惜生命、安于快乐而抛弃礼义，那就好比想长寿而自刎其颈一样。此以比喻来说明坚守礼仪对于“贵生乐安”的重要性，强调治国安邦不可缺失礼义的意义。
How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life.
I don’t think you should ever feel like you’ve achieved everything.
