There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, so don’t force it.

Meaning: What is destined to be in destiny will eventually be there, and what is destined not to be in destiny cannot be forced.

From: "Zengguang Xianwen", a collection of ancient teachings and proverbs, is a folk proverb written by Lu Ke and Chao Daiyuan.

The scenery of the bamboo fenced thatched cottage is worse than that of the Taoist temple and monks' hall. There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, so don’t force it.

Translation:

The scenery of bamboo fences and thatch houses is very good, but temples and Taoist temples cannot compare.

Things that are in destiny will always be there. Don’t force things that are not in destiny.
