You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.

写作是留下遗产的一种方式。

君子吃饭无求过饱，……做事要勤奋，说话要谨慎，并能接近有道理的人，向他学习，以纠正自己的缺点，这就可以说是好学的人了。

The only sensible ends of literature are, first, the pleasurable toil of writing; second, the gratification of one's family and friends; and lastly, the solid cash.

在任何情况下都要寻找积极的一面。
