The famous ancient poems about love and dedication include:
1. It turns into mud and grinds into dust, but only the fragrance remains the same. ——Lu You's "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei"
Even if it withers, is crushed into soil, and turns into dust again, the plum blossoms still emit wisps of fragrance as usual.
2. The spring silkworms will not run out until they are dead, and the wax torch will not dry until it turns to ashes. ——Li Shangyin's "Untitled"
The spring silkworm spins its cocoon and spins out the silk only when it dies, and the wax oil like tears can drip dry only when the candle is burned to ashes.
3. Falling red flowers are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to protect flowers. ——Gong Zizhen's "Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai"
The fallen flowers falling from the branches are not heartless things. Even if they turn into spring mud, they are willing to cultivate the growth of beautiful spring flowers.
4. The profession is sacred and the torch of reverence should always be held high in front of the altar. ——Zhang Zhuochen
5. We should regard dedication and contentment as the foundation and soul of being a human being. ——Mark Twain
6. The prestige of teachers is first established on their sense of responsibility. ——Makarenko
