Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Everything has its time.
Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
It is no use crying over spilt milk.
Every tide has its ebb.
One of these days is none of these days.
Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.
Idle folk have the least leisure.
Gather your rosebuds while you may.
Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Don’t waste life in doubts and fears.
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Time and tide wait for no man.
Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them.
Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.
You cannot step twice into the same river.
I’m not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today.
The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.
No man is rich enough to buy back his past.
Time is the only capital for those who possess nothing but intelligence.
Chapter 2 Life 人生
The sea has fish for every man.
Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Patience is the remedy for every trouble.
Good temper is the best coat for any man in social activities.
Anger is a wind, which blows out the lamp of the mind.
One of the first principles of perseverance is to know when to stop perseverance.
Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
Fine character is superior to wisdom.
Better a frank denial than unwilling compliance.
A bad workman quarrels with his tools.
A fault confessed is half redressed.

Heaven helps those who help themselves.
No road of flowers leads to glory.
Weak men wait for opportunities, strong men make them.
Opportunity comes often to the man who is ready for it.
He who laughs last, laughs best.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
In unity there is strength.
No pain, no gain.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Self-trust is the first secret of success.
Self-conquest is the greatest of victories.

Better to ask the way than go astray.
No man is born wise.
It is easy to be wise after the event.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Two heads are better than one.
Experience is a school from which one can never graduate.
He that walks with wise men shall be wise.
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Wisdom will be exhausting if not used.
An ounce of a man’s own wit is worth a ton of other people’s.
A wise man likes to learn, while a fool likes to teach others.
Sloth turns the edge of wit.
To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.
Find excuses for others but never for yourself.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Wisdom in the mind is better than money in the hand.
Wit once bought is worth twice taught.

A friend to all is a friend to none.
Those who praise us behind our backs are our good friends.
We should behave to our friends as we should expect our friends to behave to us.
Slow help is no help
A friend is not so soon gotten as lost.
Friendship is like wine.It gets better as it grows older.
A man should keep his friendship in constant repair.

The secret of happiness is let your interests be as wide as possible.
Happiness is always a rebound from hard work.
That which was bitter to endure may be sweet to remember.
He who seeks only for applause from outside has all his happiness in another’s keeping.
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
The only way to multiply happiness is to share it.
Virtue alone is happiness.
Chapter 10 Health 健康
Many dishes make many diseases.
Happiness lies, first of all, in health.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The first wealth is health.
A light heart lives long.
Without health, no pleasure can be tasted by man.
Sleep is the nature’s soft nurse.
The best sauce in the world is hunger.
Life lies in physical exercise.
Health is never valued until the sickness comes.
Nothing is more fatal to health than an over care of it.
Music is the medicine of a breaking heart.
Alternating this with that is a way to have a rest.
When you cannot find time for a rest, it is high time you needed a rest.
Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy and wise.
The best way to keep fit is to keep a heart young.
To wish to be well is a part of becoming well.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
