"The pursuit of happiness is a futile endeavor; true contentment lies in acceptance."

Even a foolish person can still be right about most things. Most conventional wisdom is true.

唯一真正的旅程是内心的旅程。

I don't make art about death, I make art about life.

读书人要为子孙营造福祉而不是祈求福祉。严谨家规，崇尚俭朴，教导耕田读书，累积陰德，这就是营造福祉。广积土地房屋，拉拢关系争取利益，买卖功名，这就是求福祉。营造福祉的，平淡而长久；祈求福祉的，浓郁却短暂。
