Quotes

  • 水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇。欲把西湖比西子,淡妆浓抹总相宜。
  • 横看成岭侧成峰,远近高低各不同。不识庐山真面目,只缘身在此山中。
  • 清夜无尘,月色如银 。 酒斟时须满十分。 浮名浮利,虚苦劳神。 叹隙中驹, 石中火, 梦中身。 虽抱文章,开口谁亲? 且陶陶乐尽天真。 几时归去,作个闲人, 对一张琴, 一壶酒, 一溪云。
  • Families when a child is bornHope it will turn out intelligent.I, through intelligenceHaving wrecked my whole life,Only hope that the baby will proveIgnorant and stupid.Then he'll be happy all his daysAnd grow into a cabinet minister.
  • What a ruler has to rely upon is only the human heart. Human hearts are to the ruler what roots are to a tree, what oil is to a lamp, water to fish, fields to a farmer, or money to a merchant.
