The so-called perfect person is a person who is broad-minded, full of dedication and sacrifice, and vows to work hard for the happiness of all mankind.
——(USA) Seidez 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 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.
——Lin Zexu A gentleman is magnanimous, but a villain is always worried. ——Confucius A person's happiness is not because he has more, but because he cares less.
To be angry is to punish yourself for the faults of others. To forgive others is to be kind to yourself.
A narrow-minded person will have many troubles, but a broad-minded person will have abundant wisdom. 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 boundless joys. A person's mind will be narrow if he has many desires, and wide if he has few desires.
