待人宜宽,惟待子孙不可宽;行礼宜厚,惟行嫁娶不必厚。
译文:对待外人应该宽容大度,但对待自己的子孙后代一定不能宽厚。人情往来一定要周到,但儿女嫁娶之事不必铺张浪费。赏析:父母教育子女一定不能纵容溺爱,否则就是害了孩子一生,正所谓惯子如杀子。父母应该给孩子树立榜样,确立做事原则。嫁女儿一定要选择人品贤良的女婿,一定不要向婆家索要很多聘礼;娶儿媳妇要娶品行端庄、秀外慧中、知书达礼的女子,而不要贪图娘家丰厚的嫁妆。
幸福不是你为未来推迟的东西,而是你为当下设计的东西。
The self is only that which it is in the process of becoming.

马奇太太知道经验是一位优秀的教师,如果有可能,她就会让孩子们自己去接受它的教训,而这些教训,她本来希望来得轻松些,只要她们从善如流,不像对导泻的番泻叶加盐那样抗拒。
On morals: "The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil."
我相信活在当下,充分利用每一天。
自然的法则是不占有,然而无事不成。
