The wisest epigram is as follows:

1. Being good is like water, and it is indisputable to be in the next place.

If goodness is like water, Lao Zi says: "If goodness is like water, water is good for all things without dispute, and it is evil for everyone, so it is a little more than Tao." That is to say, the highest level of good deeds, like the nature of water, is the closest to the Tao because it is ignored by all things and does not strive for fame and fortune.

In Taoism, water is the best and the softest; The water is dense, the micro is silent, and the giant is turbulent; Not contending with others but accommodating everything. The way of life is nothing more than this.

2. Even a wise man is foolish, so don't rely on cleverness.

Great wisdom is foolish, which is an ancient idiom in China. From the Song Su Shi Jing Jin Dongpo Collection "Congratulations to Ouyang Shaoshuai for Enlightenment": "If you are brave, you will be foolish." Explanation: high intelligence, not showing one's edge, seems stupid on the surface.

it also means to be clumsy. Lao Tzu said: the great sound is like the sound, and the elephant is invisible. They all have the same meaning, but they can better show the great and controllable side of the described person. If you are stupid, you have entered the realm of understanding; However, it is necessary to fully understand that when it is necessary to' keep fools', those who keep them are practicing, that is, kung fu.

3, indifferent and comfortable, clear-minded and determined.

Be indifferent to your ambition. This sentence first came from Liu An's Huai Nan Zi: Master's Skill Training in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang's Book of Commandments also quoted: "If you are indifferent, you can't be clear-minded, and if you are quiet, you can't be far away."

"Indifference" is an ancient Taoist thought, and Laozi once said that "indifference is the best, victory is not beautiful". You can't make your ambition clear and firm if you don't have a clear heart and desire; If you are not stable and quiet, you can't realize your lofty ideals and study hard for a long time.

4. A drop of water wears away a stone. Persistence is the key.

the slip of mount tai wears away the stone, and the pole breaks dry. Water is not a diamond of stone, but a saw of wood, which gradually makes it natural. Zhang Guaiya was a county magistrate in Chongyang in Song Dynasty. One day, he saw the beadle coming out of the treasury in a panic, with a penny hidden under his turban.

order torture. The petty official refused to accept: "A penny is nothing! You can only hit me, not kill me! " Zhang was furious: "One dollar a day, a thousand dollars a day, a rope sawed and a stone fell through." Beheaded.

5. build up your hair, and be soft.

the accumulation of wealth and thinness originates from the saying "a gentleman accumulates wealth but grows thin". It means that after a long period of preparation, there will be much to be done. Su Shichao said in "Jia said to send Zhang Hu": "I have learned a lot and made an appointment, and I have accumulated a lot of money, so my confession ends here."

use softness to restrain the strong with a soft attitude. It coincides with the theory advocated by Taoism, let nature take its course, and all things coexist and resist each other. Rigid things don't have to be conquered with more rigidity, and sometimes the softest things are just its weaknesses.

The difference between cleverness and wisdom:

1. Smart people can always protect their own interests when doing things with others, such as doing business, and they can make full profits when doing business; The wise never pursue the maximum profit of business, and some businesses even do it at a loss.

2. A wise man knows what he can do; And the wise know what they can't do.

3. Smart people can seize the opportunity and know when to make a move; And the wise know when to let go. Therefore, it is wisdom that can be taken up and wisdom that can be put down.

4. Smart people always show their shining side, that is, stand out; The wise let others show their shining side.
