Cartoons and Words of Wisdom – 豐子愷的畫中話
不妨再與家人共賞: 豐子愷的畫中話 1、大事難事，看擔當；逆境順境，看胸襟；是喜是怒，看涵養； 有捨有得，看智慧；是成是敗，看堅持。 2、心小了，所有的小事就大了；心大了，所有的大事都小了； 看淡世事滄桑，內心安然無恙。 3、大其心，容天下之物，虛其心，愛天下之善，平其心，論天下之事， 潛其心，觀天下之理，定其心，應天下之變。 4、有為有不為，知足知不足；銳氣藏於胸，和氣浮於面；才氣見於事，義氣施於人。 5、走正確的路，放無心的手，結有道之朋，斷無義之友， 飲清淨之茶，戒色花之酒，開方便之門，閉是非之口。 6、凡事順其自然；遇事處之泰然；得意之時淡然；失意之時坦然；艱辛曲折必然；歷盡滄桑悟然。 7、這個世界不是有錢人的世界，也不是無錢人的世界，它是有心人的世界。 8、有人幫你，是你的幸運；無人幫你，是公正的命運。 沒有人該為你做什麼，因為生命是你自己的，你得為自己負責。 9、有些動物主要是皮值錢，譬如狐狸；有些動物主要是肉值錢，譬如牛； 有些動物主要是骨頭值錢，譬如人。 10、虛心的人用文憑來鞭策自己，心虛的人用文憑來炫耀自己。 11、哭的時候用全力去哭，笑的時候用全力去笑，一切遊戲都用全力去幹。 12、你住幾層樓？—— “人生有三層樓：第一層是物質生活，第二層是精神生活，第三層是靈魂生活。” 圖文丨豐子愷 All above works by Feng Zikai
