Ten Golden Sentences (Classic Good Writings)

First sentence: Knowing enough is being poor in body but rich in mind, while greed makes one rich in body but poor in mind. Isn't it often said that contentment brings happiness? What is happiness, but the joy of our rich minds, even if we don't have much property or a high-paying job, we are free from worries. People have thoughts, and rich thoughts are true wealth.Second sentence: Life has only three days; those who dwell on the past live in yesterday, those who yearn for tomorrow live in tomorrow, only those who are clear-headed live in today. Yesterday is gone, it's a check that has expired, tomorrow hasn't arrived, it's a check that can't be withdrawn, only living in today is realistic.

Third sentence: Life doesn't need to be meticulously calculated, and letting anger fester in your heart. It says, 'Life is short, no more than a hundred years, and we should always hold a thousand-year's worth of worries.' Everything starts with our hearts; a smile can dispel a thousand sorrows. We are all transient passersby in this world, merely visiting it for a short time.Fourth sentence: Living simply is not difficult, it only requires living for yourself, for beauty, for happiness. The smaller the need, the more freedom you have; the less luxury, the more comfortable you are.

Fifth sentence: An extra minute of joy, a minus of sorrow; an extra bit of truth, a minus of falsehood; an extra bit of leisure, a minus of busyness. These four 'more' and 'less' are very important; with them, you can live with a relaxed and happy mood. Seniors can completely take charge of their lives, treat themselves kindly, and their minds will be enriched.Sixth sentence: Less air, more leisure; body busy, mind relaxed. It's really difficult to truly achieve this eight-character saying; the key is 'leisure.' Seniors must have leisure in their old age, of course, doing some housework is also fine, but if you do nothing, you will be bored, but don't let your body be busy and your mind be restless.
