There are secret glances that become sweeter because they are secret.
I can traverse wind and rain, and I can rise again.

Feeling dissatisfied with others is a sign of insufficient cultivation. In the moment of anger, one's IQ drops to zero; it takes a minute to recover. The key to elegance lies in controlling emotions. Hurting others with words is the most foolish behavior. Learn to control your temper and be a person of character.
Life is not a short candle, but a torch we hold temporarily. We must burn it brightly and then pass it to the next generation. A life can either burn or decay; I choose to burn rather than decay. Although the road of life is long, the critical moments are often just a few steps, especially when one is young.
Great difficulties are not scary; what is scary is lacking ambition and spirit.
A kite feels restricted by its string and seeks absolute freedom; however, once the string breaks, it becomes hollow, drifts aimlessly, and eventually destroys itself.

Providing abundant fruit only offers temporary enjoyment, but planting a positive thought can benefit someone for a lifetime. Whether it is a wild fruit, a flower, vast wealth, or a warm coin, they hold equal value on the scales of "filial piety." Life is mostly about letting things take their natural course; what is yours will always be yours, and what is not yours will eventually be lost. With more open-mindedness, life becomes leisurely and interesting.
Idling is for the bored, venting is for the angry, manifesting is for the clever, developing is for the hardworking, spreading is for the glorious, and making a fortune is for the industrious. Compassion is like two feet, capable of traveling everywhere without obstacles; wisdom is like two eyes, capable of discerning truth from falsehood. Live like a mirror, constantly observing oneself; live like a suitcase, ready to be carried or set down at any time.
