1. It is just a temporary shelter no matter how large the house is.
Only the little wooden box is our permanent home.
Therefore, tolerant heart is more essential than a spacious house,
And peaceful heart is more important than security of body.
2. The severest fault in life is, giving up health for external things besides the body;
The extreme sorrow in life is, giving life in exchange of personal troubles;
The biggest waste is to spend life on shooting troubles made by someone himself.
3. The deepest grief in life is that filial piety can not reach diseased parents.
The biggest sorrow in life is that death comes earlier than wealth.
The uttermost wretchedness is that one doesn’t know what he should do until being dying.
4. With a peaceful heart, spirits are eternal. Minimize your desires and maximize your sensibility, you will see: safety means luck, health means wealth; peaceful heart means salary and minimum desires makes longevity.
5. The wise man sees understandingly. The smart man sees punctually. The brilliant man sees far. Voices of wise people make directions for the stupid. If you can't give up previous ignorance, you will never enter into wisdom hall. For health, prejudice is more horrible than ignorance.
6. The best doctor is you yourself.
The most effective cure is time.
The most wonderful mood is peace.
The most useful healthcare is smile.
And the best sport is walking.
7. Happiness is the catholicon for longevity.
Diligence is the nostrum for healthiness.
Having sports are investments to health, and longevity is the return of being healthy. There is no theurgy of staying young, as peaceful heart seeking no fame and wealth is better than medicine.
8. Health is priceless, for health is more expensive than gold.
Happiness is priceless, for healthiness follows happiness.
Happiness lies in healthy body rather than in fame and wealth.
Strong constitution lies in having sports rather than in wealth.
9. Abstention is important for bite and sup.
Pithiness is important for reading.
Perseverance is important for taking exercises.
Abstention does good to stomach. Reading often does good to building courage. And having sports regularly does good to longevity.
10. One who feels cold is close to clothes.
One who is sick is close to doctors.
It’s better to prevent the source of being sick than seeking catholicon.
It’s better to have sports regularly than to manage to seek doctors when sick.
11. Meaning of life lies not in how long it is, but in how early we get insight.
Life is not used to correct others’ mistakes, but to live our own wonderful living.
12. It is a deposit of health when cultivating good habits, but it is overdraft when indulging bad habits. People who always take excuses of having no time to take exercise will eventually find time to see a doctor.
