The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

衣食是人们活着的时候所需要的利益，尚且要有一定的节制；埋葬是人们死后所需要的利益，为什么就单单在这里没有节制呢？ 

最好的策略是足够灵活以适应变化。

I think we have been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations.
