Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to see, while comedy tears the worthless apart for them to see. --- Lu Xun
The advantage of being at the lowest point in life is that no matter which direction you strive, you are moving upward. If you do not work hard today and do not work hard tomorrow, then your life is merely repeating itself. You must believe that what wakes you up every day is not the alarm clock, but the dream in your heart. A new day has begun; the only person you should strive to surpass is your yesterday's self. --- Zhou Libo
Every existence is reasonable; trying to understand may be futile, and all we need to do is stop ignoring and blaming. --- Lu Sihao, "May Someone Accompany You Through Hardships"
People who act aggressively are often fragile. Because truly strong people are confident; confidence brings gentleness, and gentleness brings firmness. --- Dang Nian Ming Yue, "Records of the Ming Dynasty"
We must believe in something. However, if we do not act upon that belief, everything remains useless. Confidence without action is futile. People do not fall because of a lack of confidence, but because they cannot turn their beliefs into action and persist against all odds. Of course, belief alone is not enough to make us mature. The benefit of faith is that it strengthens courage, ensuring we do not retreat when facing trials. Unless we use faith as a foundation and then act, no principles or reasoning are of any use. Only actions count. --- Dale Carnegie, "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
Flowers bloom in their time, and wither in their time; all things have their time. Embracing has its time, life and death have their time, and reunions and partings have their time. When beauty reaches its extreme, it becomes desolation. --- An Yiru, "Peach Blossoms Exist"
A nation that only cares about the people beneath its feet has no future; a nation that only cares about the sky has a future. --- Hegel
Morality makes people ignorant—customs represent the experience of predecessors, representing their views on what is useful or harmful—but the feeling towards customs (morality) is not concerned with the experiences themselves, but rather with the antiquity, sanctity, and indisputability of the customs. Therefore, this feeling hinders the acquisition of new experiences and the modification of old customs; morality becomes an obstacle to creating better new customs: it makes people ignorant. --- Nietzsche, "The Dawn"
We no longer have the ability to devote ourselves to love; we only hope to be loved. Perhaps, when you stop measuring or doubting love, you will have more strength to love. --- Zhang Xiaoxian, "Thank you for leaving me"
Don't be too good, don't be too meticulous, and don't love too obviously; it was because of this that my mother allowed her children to act without fear. --- Ding Ding Zhang, "Life Needs to be Exposed"
