People often realize the value of something only after losing it, but losing something after having cherished it is even more painful.
Perhaps the things we take pride in today will become the reasons for our sorrow in the years to come.
Both the curves and straight lines of life hold value; both the soul and desires can drive our growth.
Enlightenment is about knowing oneself and finding eternal life.
When you cling to something, you may only ever possess that one thing; if you let go, you open the door to other possibilities.
Complaining is like iron, while tolerance is like steel; only by overcoming setbacks can one achieve great success. Complaining is like a cloud, and transcendence is like a lamp; without the fuel of persistent love, there can be no roaring success. There is no gain without loss; only by letting go of complaints can work and family life become more wonderful. A calm heart and simple emotions reveal the true grandeur of life.
We cannot waste time; we only waste ourselves. Therefore, do not waste time complaining about life. Instead, turn complaints into gratitude—be grateful to those who have hurt or mocked us, for they have helped us grow and understand the beauty of life. Let us embrace a life free of complaints!
Hope might be a hearty breakfast, yet it can also be a bitter dinner.
When the iron axe is lost, the gods may grant a gold or silver one. Eating a poisoned apple might lead to a prince's kiss. Every loss is making room for something precious to arrive; every crawl is a warm-up for a great leap; every fragmentation is a precursor to a hard-won completeness.
Many people love the wrong person in the pursuit of so-called happiness, but many more live happily for a lifetime because they loved the right person.
