每一个生命体都是一种艺术家。

At an early age I learned that people make mistakes, and you have to decide if their mistakes are bigger than your love for them.

礼义廉耻，可以用来要求自己，不可用来要求别人。要求自己则能少犯过失，要求别人则难以与人和睦相处，难以与他人相处就不合乎处世之道。所以君子只严格要求自己，小人则对别人求全责备。

Sometimes a thing is broken and cannot be put back together.

坚守道德底线，有时可能会遭受短暂的冷落；可那些依附权势利欲熏心的人，搞不好会万古凄凉。真正通达明理的人，不会囿于物质本身，而更在意身后的名誉。所以他们宁愿承受一时的冷落，也不愿遭受永久的凄凉。

Literature is the art of making the invisible visible.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
