“Life is a game of chance.”
“To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization.” “A good teacher is like a candle—it consumes itself to light the way for others.” “The best way to live is to live in the present.” “The_Chinese_are_a_people_who_have_a_great_deal_of_respect_for_the_past.” |
