A reliable friend was often once a formidable enemy; conversely, a formidable opponent may become a close confidant. Only those worthy of being your opponent are worthy of being your soulmate, for only they truly understand you.
Always keep your word. Even a foolish promise is better than being untrustworthy.
Simply scrimping and saving is merely surviving; those who know how to spend, save, and earn are the ones truly living well.
Some things transcend right and wrong or truth; sometimes, a heated argument is the only way to clarify everything.
A profound truth: Never underestimate yourself.
Tender tears, three parts of the world, seven parts of dreams, seven parts of parting; a parting lamp, love in a sea of bitterness, a watch, a farewell. A lamp in the cold wind, life's emotions, in eyes and dreams, only tender feelings; broken winds, broken tears, three lives of love, three lives of emotion; a fallen blossom, a moment of plainness, believing in the sea of people, right and wrong between us; just a peach blossom spring, life remains, hands held, brows curved, a moment of withering, a moment of belief; people of wind and moon, carving ice, crossing the moon in the sea of people, only tender parts, only tears in three. So much, emotions hidden in the sea of people; so little, cold western winds and tears, one parting from others, one parting for three lives, one parting from the world; hands held, brows curved, only coldness, a mistake of three lives, the persistence of three lives.
Flowers bloom on the path, yet seen in vain; life is but a dream, how much joy can be found?
Happiness is not envying others' lives, but being content with your own.
Life is fleeting; we should treat our existence with kindness and ponder its meaning. Life is not meant for finding answers or solving problems, but for living joyfully. For every bit of trouble in life, one needs a bit of Zen to resolve it.
Learn to know without speaking, for too many words lead to mistakes; learn to liberate yourself to transcend; learn to think in silence to remain clear-minded; learn to see the world with your heart to see its true nature; and learn to let go, for only by letting go can you begin anew. Sometimes, choices yield no results, leaving us only to depart in silence.
If you turn your back on the world, the world will turn its back on you. While fate may be unchangeable, we can change our attitude toward it. By facing every moment with a calm heart and experiencing life's joys, even the most fearsome fate becomes less daunting. Life is short and full of storms. Draw a beautiful landscape in your heart and walk gently. Find tranquility in simplicity, scent your own life, and live peacefully without fearing the rain or wind.
