○ If you have inherited nothing from your parents and nothing from heaven, then your path in life will naturallybe rough like an unpaved road. And you will inevitably encounter countless obstacles. But do not be afraid. One obstacle is one experience, and one experience is one wisdom. Remember, all success is always waiting for you behind an obstacle.
○ It is not that there is a path and I walk it, but that I walk and the path is created.
○ Do not wish for the world to change, but wish for yourself to change.
○ For those who desire much from the world, unwanted guests named dissatisfaction and failure come to urge them to give up, and for those who desire much from themselves, invited guests named success and hope come to encourage them to challenge.
○ The master of your life is not the world but yourself.
○ Do not befriend those who have endless desires to receive but nothing to give.
○ If a person has the habit of endlessly eating but never excreting, and their belly is only filled with dung, then they can be considered to have already given up being human.
○ Strive not to be a person who knows much, but a person who feels much. Strive not to be a person who feels much, but a person who realizes much.
○ Even knowledge as high as Mount Tai can be shattered by a single speck of realization.
○ When living in the world, there are occasionally intellectually immature individuals who, when encountering people with different opinions and arguments from their own, do not perceive them as 'different people' but label them as 'wrong people'. They have never once questioned whether they themselves might be 'wrong'. They always think that they are 'right'. They are people with extremely low chances of succeeding.
○ Never give up. Only those who have had their hearts bitten by the teeth of despair are qualified to hunt for hope.
○ You are the master of your time.
○ Don't ask me what is blue. What is blue for you is the truth.
○ Some men become wrecks because of heartbreak, and some men become poets because of heartbreak.
○ Looking back, I have walked this far carrying a life a thousand times heavier than my own body weight.
○ A supportive wife does not come from a clam. It is something a husband creates with his whole life.
○ It's not difficult to know the answer to life. It's just hard to live it out. The tree of understanding bears the fruit of love, and the weeds of misunderstanding sprout the thorns of hatred. Understanding matures when one looks at the object based on inner perspective, and misunderstanding sprouts when one looks at the object based on outer perspective.
○ Keep in mind that the stronger the tendency to view the love you cherish based on external perspective, the greater the potential for misunderstanding.
○ If you place too much emphasis on external perspective, you will neglect the inner value of the person you love.
○ True love is within the heart, not outside of it.
○ Any flaw that the person you love possesses can be beautifully explained by viewing it through an inner perspective. Consider the case of a rag. From an external perspective, it is utterly lowly, but from an inner perspective, it is utterly sublime. A rag must tear its own flesh to wipe away the dirt on other objects. Understanding is choosing to become a rag yourself.
