First do the things you need to do, then do the things you want to do.

——Growth Is More Important Than Success by Ling Zhijun

先做应该做的事，再做自己想做的事。

——凌志军《成长比成功更重要》

The more you decide not to think about someone, the more you will think about him, because deciding not to think about him is just a sign of thinking about him.

——Gu Long, novelist

你愈下决心不思念对方，就会愈思念对方，因为决心不思念对方正是思念对方。

——武侠小说家古龙

There are many things worth loving in a lifetime, don't be despondent over one disappointment.

——Life by Lu Yao

人活一生，值得爱的东西很多，不要因为一个不满意就灰心。

——路遥《人生》

Walk the right path. Let go of the unintentional. Make friends with the ethical. Break off ties with the ruthless. Drink tea peacefully. Abstain from debauchery. Open the door to convenience. Close the mouth of gossip.

——Feng Zikai, painter

走正确的路，放无心的手，结有道之朋，断无义之友，饮清净之茶，戒色花之酒，开方便之门，闭是非之口。

——画家丰子恺

It was our mothers that brought us first into this world on a bed. After a lifetime of fighting setbacks and difficulties, in the end we return to our life's origin: the bed. The difference is that, when we came we had the care of our mothers, but when we're getting ready to leave there might not be any family there to take care of us. Even if there is a family member there, some of them could never hold a candle to our mothers.

——Zhou Daxin, author

母亲最初把我们带到人世，是在床上；经过一生艰难曲折的奋斗，最终还是要回到人生原点——床上。不同的是，我们来时有母亲的照料，当我们准备走时，不一定有亲人照料，即使有亲人，有的也远不如母亲。
