Don't demand too much from life, and surprises will follow. Life has no impassable obstacles, only people who cannot be let go. Be grateful when you meet, cherish when you love, remain elegant when you turn away, and smile when you say goodbye. Because once you turn, you may never meet again; you never know at which intersection you might drift apart.
No matter how smart, wealthy, or powerful you are, your judgment significantly decreases when angry. Never make decisions while angry!
Truth may occasionally dim, but it will never be extinguished.
One can moderate desire, but cannot live without it. It is about tempering desire rather than eliminating it, and managing impulses rather than suppressing emotions; desire is the realization of emotion, and having healthy desires is a sign of health.
When you are in power, you may have many friends, but few are true; when you lose power, you may have few friends, but many are real.
One can be poor without begging, and lazy without being a burden. Do not judge people by appearances, do not act insincerely, do not waste your life, and do not let waiting become a way of delaying others.
Be kind to others when you are successful, for you may need them when you fall.
Perseverance is a key element of success. As long as you keep knocking on the door loudly and long enough, someone will eventually answer.
Complaining is one of the most primal forms of human prayer.
Leisure cannot be forced; it must be felt with the heart. Leisure is a state of mind, and only in a state of leisure can one truly enjoy life.
