A safe body is not as good as a safe mind, and a wide house is not as good as a wide heart.

A big belly can accommodate you, and you can eliminate many troubles and obstacles. You can smile broadly and form a bond of boundless joy.

The ambition is so vast that it embraces hundreds of rivers, and invites people to travel all over the world and make friends with talented people.

I raise my eyes and look around at the vastness of the universe. The sun, moon, and stars are all at my disposal.

The sea accepts hundreds of rivers, and it is great if it has tolerance; if it stands thousands of feet high on the wall, it is strong if it has no desires.

A person’s happiness is not because he has more, but because he cares less.

Being kind to others, being lenient to others, and being forgiving to others is what a gentleman is.

The sky can cover the earth, but the earth can accommodate small things.

The broadest thing in the world is the sea, wider than the sea is the sky, and wider than the sky is the human mind. ——Hugo

To be angry is to punish yourself for the faults of others. To forgive others is to be kind to yourself.

A narrow mind will lead to many troubles, but a broad mind will lead to abundant wisdom.

The vision should be broad, and one should travel through famous mountains and rivers; the measurement should be broad, and one should be familiar with the Five Classics and all histories.

No matter how much wood there is, it cannot fill the flames, and no matter how much river water there is, it cannot fill the ocean.

People’s minds are narrow if they have many desires, and wide if they have few desires.

Although the ocean is big, dripping water is also beneficial to it.

Don’t think about old evils, this is the measure of purity.
