Some old people seem to be lovely, because their style is elegant and beautiful, and although some young people are beautiful, they do not deserve praise because of their lack of graceful cultivation.

There are books to be enjoyed, some to be swallowed, a few books to chew and digest, some books to read only a part of them, some books to read in their entirety, but not to read carefully, and a few books to be read in their entirety, diligently, and attentively.

Money is a good servant, but it can also become an evil master on certain occasions.

What Bacon said, the author is currently dazzled, there is no elegance to find repetition, and the rain outside is quite noisy, that's all.
