名利是缰锁

《增广贤文》

The Supplemented Collection of Adages

名利是缰锁，牵缠时，逆则生憎，顺则生爱；
富贵如浮云，觑破了，得亦不喜，失亦不忧。

    Fame and profit are reins, which when tied on make you liked if you are obedient, and make you disliked if you are disobedient;
    Wealth and position are clouds, if you can see through them, losing them will not make you sadder, and acquiring them will not make you happier.

（江湖侠客吴仲湛 辑）
