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。

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。

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。

Typically, when you look for role models, you want someone who has your interests and came from the same background. Well, look how restricting that is. What people should do is take role models a la carte. If there's someone whose character you appreciated, you respect that trait.

I choose to let go of my fear.

Stuff like Buena Vista Social Club and Fela Kuti were quite a main thing to my childhood. As soon as I reached an age where I realized that Fela was singing in English, when I got past his accent, I loved the rawness of it, and the funk and the rhythm and the melody.

My parents are from Ghana. Until I was 17, I thought you had to go to college. I had no idea. I didn't know it was not an option.

I hadn't seen that many movies that really go deep enough into the fears of playing music or the language that musicians can use to treat each other or, like, the way that you can see it dehumanize and the way that it can feel like boot camp.

Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one.

And usually the studios they don't want you to have credit for your movies because they want to take credit for the movies because if you get credit for your movies they've got to pay you more.

I take smack because I enjoy it. I enjoy all it makes me feel. I don't do it to be in with the in crowd. I can rock out with it.

My kids have been watching a lot of 'My Little Pony,' and it's rubbing off on me.

Purity is very fragile when it takes physical manifestation. It is very, very strong in its original aspect.

I want my readers to find their own way.

What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.

Only skydivers know why the birds sing. They never have to pack a parachute

I'm really picky.

Rawness and refinement are not opposite ends of a luxurious spectrum... they are two complementary features with which to populate a luxe environment.

My view is that one should diversify broadly across different fund investments. However, it's tough for investors to try to pick the appropriate risk level that they should manage their funds at. Having a personal adviser would be helpful.

Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.

I'm not a judgmental person, so I can't comment on someone else's background.

When I left SEIU, we had started this quality public service agenda to say to our members what I think the United Auto Workers learned: that quality is our only job security in the long run.

Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.

It would have been very easy for me to put on a little tight skirt and go out and try what I always call the 'Barbie doll' roles.
