《菜根谭·闲适》
看似闲适的富贵，费尽心机拼命争夺得来，虽有所得，失去的更多；百年美好的时光岁月，匆匆忙忙地荒度过去，纵然长寿，也如同早亡。
一场闲富贵，狠狠争来，虽得还是失；百岁好光阴，忙忙过了，纵寿亦为夭。
The rich and the noble who seem to be at their ease, who spend their time and energy拼命争夺, although they gain something, they lose more; the beautiful time of a hundred years is passed in a hurry, even if they live a long life, it is like dying an early death.
