美的真谛应该是和谐。这种和谐体现在人身上，就造就了人的美；表现在物上，就造就了物的美；融汇在环境中，就造就了环境的美。

世间最平和的快乐就是静观天地与人世慢慢地品味出它的和谐。

幸福永远存在于人类不安的追求中，而不存在于和谐与稳定之中。

君子和而不同。

家必自毁，而后人毁之。

居家有二语，曰：惟怒则平情，惟俭则足用。

家和万事兴！

君子和而不同，小人同而不和。

我们说生命最重要的是和谐。我们所追求的和谐，并不是要消灭一切纷争与不和，使之平静得犹如一潭死水。实际上，生命是一种在动态里达到的均衡境界的过程。健康之人的气血就在不断地运动循环：春天让自己的气血向外生发，夏季长势喜人，秋季收获储备，冬季好好补养。

四季不断流转，人的气血也就随之经历了生、长、收、藏的运动过程，从而使人体气血充足，身体健康茁壮。我们身处的地球也处在不断运动之中，我们自身的小磁场要与地球大磁场相互应和，遵循宇宙间万事万物变化的规律，“天人合一”的智慧也在于此。

事实上，中国文化中所谓受命于“天”也不是、至少不完全是超越性的宗教概念，而带有浓厚的世俗色彩。“天人合一”、“天听自我民听”，“天”更多的是此岸而不是彼岸的东西，“天意”常常被解释为人心、民意。

迷藏捉到这个地步，也不知捉的是谁，躲的又是谁，境由心生，境却不由书灭，黄粱一梦，窗外东方又大白，世上一日，书中千年，但觉天人合一，物我两忘，落花流水，天上人间。

善言天者，必验于人;善言人者，必本于天。

善摄生者，无犯日月之忌，无失岁时之和。

夫人禀五常，因风气而生长，风气虽能生万物，亦能害万物，如水能浮舟，亦能覆舟。

人是小乾坤，得阳则生，失阳则死。

天地之理，有开必有合;用药之机，有补必有泻。

医也者，顺天之时，测气之偏，适人之情，体物之理。

精是吾神，气是无道，藏精养气，保守坚真。

人生如天地，和煦则春，惨郁则秋。

春生夏长，秋收冬藏。

夫百病者，多以旦慧、昼安、夕加、夜甚。

日出而作，日入而息。

四时阴阳者，万物之根本也。

天复地载，万物悉备，莫贵于人。

人以天地之气生，四时之法成。

善言天者，必有验于人;善言古者，必有合于今;善言人者，必有厌于己。

细草微风岸,危樯独夜舟。星垂平野阔,月涌大江流。名岂文章著,官因老病休。飘飘何所似,天地一沙鸥。

I don't think that writing talent has much to do with where one went to school, or the number of degrees on one's business card, but I do get a bit bristly at the implication that romance authors couldn't possibly be smart enough to get into an Ivy League school.

I'm trying to get on the yoga/pilates train, but I can't seem to sit still. I imagine a lot of reporters would say the same.

Sow a thought, and you reap an act;Sow an act, and you reap a habit;Sow a habit, and you reap a character; Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

Even though we know freedom as an idea we're not really as free as we think we are.

We found ourselves in a hole that I didn't dig, but I have dug, dug and dug to try to get out of that hole.

Skating takes up 70 percent of my time, school about 25 percent. Having fun and talking to my friends, 5 percent. It's hard. I envy other kids a lot of things, but I get a guilt trip when I'm not training.

Grief is hard on friendships but it doesnt have to be. Sometimes all it takes is a little honesty between friends. If we gently and lovingly explain what we need from the relationship during our time of grief and what we are willing to do in return we can turn even a lukewarm friendship into something special.

Procrastination is the seed of self destruction.

It's every singer's dream to get to Carnegie Hall.

Death was like love, a romantic escape.

The youth movement is aware that old visions can not take Egypt into the future.

The unknown makes people uncomfortable.

Good God! How often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part.

Being out on the edge with everything at risk is where you learn and grow the most.

I never wore a watch. I always depend on public clocks, and stores have clocks, but that is strange.

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with. I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic.

I feel like I'm 1,000. I don't feel I'm young enough a lot of the time.

I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.

I'm an absolutely normal guy.

Euphemism in the workplace does not end with job descriptions. It reaches a pusillanimous peak at the other end of the work process - in dismissal.

Regardless of the business aspect of things, is there a reason that there isn't a female Hitchcock or a female Scorsese or a female Spielberg? I don't know. I think it's a medium that really is built for the male gaze and for a male sensibility.
