Nothing for nothing

The more we do, the more we can do

In doing we learn

A plant may produce new flowers; man is young but once

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

大匠無棄材，尋尺各有施

非知之難，行之為難；非行之難，終之斯難

善讀書者，無之而非書；山水亦書也，棋酒亦書也，花月亦書也

頂不住眼前的誘惑，便失掉了未來的幸福

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
