Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort.

Whether we are describing a king, an assassin, a thief, an honest man, a prostitute, a nun, a young girl, or a stallholder in a market, it is always ourselves that we are describing.

如果你想过得快乐，就把生活跟目标联系在一起，而不是跟人或物质。

译文：修性养心最好的方式就是少些欲望，培养廉洁的美德最好的方式就是不要心存贪念。赏析：人的欲望太多，贪念过盛，一旦无法满足，就会伤身费神。守身必谨严，养心须淡泊。为了追逐名利，有的人忘乎所以，最终走上违法犯罪的道路。
