The sage does not fall ill, for he is aware of illness.

I’m not very ambitious—at most, I have a bit of impossible-to-harmonize idealism. I want to run a little corner shop for my whole life. After we all grow old, I hope to see you, old as ever, shuffling in, settling into a corner, ordering a few small dishes, a pot of wine, savoring the past years as we cook them up and chew them over slowly.
—“They Are the Happiest”

Life tells us that love is not about being together every moment, but about weathering storms side by side.

I don't think about whether I can succeed or not. Since I have chosen the distant destination, I will press on through wind and rain.

After reaching a certain age, life is nothing more than a continuous process of loss.

As long as you believe in yourself and keep working hard in the face of difficulties, setbacks, and challenges, you can achieve it, even if you are starting your life from zero.

Hugging the person you love the most is the best feeling.

Starting a business is tough, but perseverance is cool!

Don't try to tell others about your sadness. Those who haven't experienced it will scoff; those who have will tell you not to overthink; those who like you will feel anxious; those who dislike you will be pleased. In the end, you'll feel hopeless.

Truly lonely people never think about anything else, because if you are already very lonely and can't save yourself, all you can do is not think.

Be kind to yourself, don't be influenced by others, and don't try to control others. Be confident and graceful.

The green hills are not as long as your eyebrows, the clear water is not as bright as your eyes. After crossing mountains, rivers, and several rains, in my whole life, there is only you.

I like reading books, meeting people, and understanding people. Reading more, meeting more people, and understanding more people will broaden your horizons and make you kinder, purer, or perhaps more useful to others. — Ba Jin

The graduation cap sits on the head, the oath is remembered in the heart, hardships are hidden inside, and a smile is worn on the face.

No matter what the future holds, I just want to have no regrets when it all ends.

There is only one outcome for everything: you will die if you walk, and you will die if you lie down! — Gorky

If what you give me is the same as what you give to others, then I don't want it.

True giving is letting go of worries, anxieties, discrimination, and attachment.

If you want to be rich, eliminate accidents; if you want things to be sweet, ensure safety.
