Love & Courage
"In True Love, One Finds Courage"​

Confucius - Learning

"Learning without thought is labor lost;
thought without learning is perilous"​

​

Only Through Letting Go
"Only through letting go can we truly
possess what is real"​

And this is the Chinese symbol for 'I miss you'​

WassalamuAlaykum​

 

[Re.TiReD]

滴水之恩当以涌泉相报

• Literally: A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring.
• Meaning: Even if it was just a little help from others, you should return the favor with all you can when others are in need.

冰冻三尺非一日之寒


(ice+freeze+three+units(~feet),not+one+day's(7th and 8th)+chill)

• Literally: Three feet of ice not result from one day of freezing weather.
• Moral: A predicament is not formed without a period of events creating it.
• Compare: Rome was not built in a day (Roma non fu fatta in un giorno, Italian proverb).

穴来风未必无因

(empty+cave+come+wind+not+surely+not+cause)

• Literally: If the wind comes from an empty cave, it's not without a reason.
• Moral: Most seemingly strange rumours have an origin in fact.
