As the saying goes, "Gold has value, but jade has none." In reality, there is something even more valuable and better than gold, something everyone can enjoy—a priceless treasure in the form of timeless quotes. To meet the needs of young readers in learning and ancient quotes, we compiled this small dictionary with the guiding principle of "beneficial for character development and helpful for writing." We first categorized the selected 2,600 quotes into 28 categories, then grouped these categories into six major sections: Achieving Success, Social Conduct, Establishing a Nation, Describing Scenery, Expressing Emotions, and Philosophical Insights. The arrangement starts with "Heaven · Earth · Humanity" and ends with "Transformation," ensuring that the spirit of humanism runs as a red thread throughout the entire book.
Of course, not every ancient quote is a gem. Many carry the marks of the old era. We must have a clear understanding of this.
