Life is beautiful—Lily Chen

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you”ll find them at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

　　Life is but an empty dream!

　　For the soul is dead that slumbers,

　　And things are not what they seem.

　　Life is real! Life is earnest!

　　And the grave is not its goal;

　　Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

　　Was not spoken of the soul.

　　Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

　　Is our destined end or way?

　　But to act, that each tomorrow

　　Finds us farther than today.

　　Art is long, and time is fleeting,

　　And our hearts, though stout and brave,

　　Still, like muffled drums, are beating

　　Funeral marches to the grave.

　　In the world’s broad field of battle,

　　In the bivouac of life,

　　Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

　　Be a hero in the strife!

　　Trust no future, however pleasant!

　　Let the dead past bury its dead!

　　Act-act in the living present!

　　Heart within, and god overhead!

　　《人生颂》

　　朗费罗

　　人生不过是一场幻梦！　

　　灵魂睡着了，就等于死了，　

　　事物的真相与外表不同。　

　　人生是真切的！人生是实在的！

　　它的归宿决不是荒坟；

　　你本是尘土，必归于尘土，

　　这是指躯壳，不是指灵魂

　　我们命定的目标和道路

　　不是享乐，也不是受苦；

　　而是行动，在每个明天

　　都超越今天，跨出新步。

　　智艺无穷，时光飞逝；　

　　这颗心，纵然勇敢坚强，

　　也只如鼙鼓，闷声敲动着，

　　一下又一下，向坟地送丧。　

　　世界是一片辽阔的战场，

　　人生是到处扎寨安营；　　

　　莫学那听人驱策的哑畜，　

　　做一个威武善战的英雄！　　

　　别指望将来，不管它多可爱！

　　把已逝的过去永久掩埋！　

　　行动吧–趁着活生生的现在！　

　　心中有赤心，头上有真宰！
