What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

我对来世不感兴趣。我对今生感兴趣。

遇宠辱而不惊则肝自宁，或动或静只要慎重则心自静，饮食有所节制则脾自安，调节呼吸少言语则肺自保全，淡泊少欲则肾气自足。

"Man, unlike any other thing organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments."

唯一真正重要的是你在世界上产生的影响。
