Li Ju-chen
Chinese Writer and Scholar
"Always think of the days of scarcity during the days of abundance, so that you will not long for the days of abundance of scarcity."
"Wealth and fame are of dubious value when we think that life is like a fleeting dream."
"Lust for fame and fortune is like an intoxication. While a man is intoxicated, he doesn’t realize it. It’s only after it is all over that he realizes that everything is like an illusion. If men could realize this all the time, there would be much less trouble on earth, and there would be much happier people too."
