3. The only lamp that illuminates people is reason, and the only stick that guides life astray is conscience. ——Heine
4. The characteristics of spring can only be recognized in winter, and the best May poems can be sung behind the stove. ——Heine

8. If spring comes with sunshine, the flowers will bloom; if the moon begins to glow with cold silver, the stars will ripple in it; if the singer sees two sweet eyes , the songs flowed out of his heart. Eyes, moonlight and sunshine, these make me so happy, but the world is not always like this.
