家纵贫寒,也须留读书种子;人虽富贵,不可忘稼穑艰辛。
译文:家境纵然贫寒,也要让孩子读书学习;人即使飞黄腾达了,也不能忘记耕种劳作的艰辛。赏析:积金千两,不如明解经书。有田不耕仓廪虚,有书不读子孙愚。从古至今,无数的先贤都在告诉我们,读书是有很多好处的。贫穷不忘恩,富贵不忘本。
Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.
"The search for knowledge is the only journey worth taking."
【译文】 孔子说:“树立崇高理想、培养高尚品德、心怀仁慈友爱、陶冶高雅情操。”
The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
