1 Don't look forward to the day you stop suffering, because when it comes you know you'll be dead.   生于忧患,死于安乐.

2 A dog starving at his master's gate predicts the ruin of the state. 树死先从叶子黄.

3 I would rather have a mind opened by wonder than one closed by custom. 宁愿创新,不愿陈腐.

4 Gather you rosebuds while you may, old time is still a flying, and this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying. 未雨绸缪.

5 However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him. 傻瓜总会发现有比他更傻的人在赞美他.

6 Belief, then, is the great guide of human life. 信仰是生活的向导.

7 Other people's harvests are always the best harvests, but one's own children are always the best children. 别人的成就/收获怎么看都比自己的好,而自己的孩子怎么看都比别人的孩子好.

8 There is no feast on earth that does not end in parting. 天下没有不散的宴席.

9 Everyone has some tricks they can do, but each has his own way of doing them. 八仙过海,各显神通.

10 Those who can lose shall gain; those who wish for gain shall lose. 有意栽花花不开,无心插柳柳成荫./阴差阳错.
