Only when the soul has a home does life have a path. On life's journey, there are trees full of flowers as well as clusters of setbacks, smooth roads as well as muddy paths, sunny days as well as rain, snow, and frost. No one's life is ever "riding fast with the east wind, seeing all the flowers of Chang'an in one day." Let us face life with a smile.
Life is full of variety; do not be angry at new things that you find disagreeable.
How much sorrow is in life! Nights can be so tragic, painful, and desolate. Ask the heavens, who can understand you? You cry, you weep, you feel sadness, pain, grief, and suffering…
Everyone must act according to the law, but you can use your mind flexibly to create rules that benefit yourself.
Criticism and complaints in marriage are not necessarily bad; they can be expressions of love. However, they should not become a daily routine, for even the finest delicacies can become tiresome if consumed too often, let alone the bitter and unpalatable.
The saddest thing in the world is standing opposite someone who cannot see you. Such heartlessness torments not only the one you love but also yourself.
A torch can ignite more torches without losing its own flame. Happiness is like a flame; you can give it to others without sacrificing your own joy.
The universe and all living things are interconnected. When you harm the earth, rivers, and the creatures on it, you are in fact harming yourself.
