The Qing Dynasty scholar Mr. Shanyin Jin's "Aphorisms Lian Bi"

To nourish the heart, don't be good at having few desires. As a person, he also has few desires, even if there are some who don't have them, he is a few; as a person, he also has many desires, although there are some who have them, he is a few.

The best way to cultivate one's mind is to reduce desires. If a person has few desires, even if his nature is lost, it will still be very few; if a person has many desires, even if his nature is retained, it will still be very few.
