Books are the nourishment of the whole world. Life without books is like life without sunshine. Wisdom without books is like a bird without wings. -Shakespeare

Shakespeare's famous saying:

1. Simplicity is the soul of wisdom, and verbosity is the decoration on the surface.

2. Spring doesn't blame the east wind evil.

Life is short, if we waste it, it will be too long.

4. The lighted torch is not for the torch itself, just like our virtue should surpass ourselves to illuminate others, otherwise it is useless.

If you don't contribute yourself and everything you have to the world, but just one person, it's a waste. (dedication)
