You might have realized that this “Quote of the day” section has become a large part of my website’s content. While I was picking up Chinese again in my late 30s after dropping it in my late 20s, I decided that the best way to study is to translate some quotes that I encountered into my mother tongue and English on the go.
These quotes may be funny or related to self-help. What’s better than being a better version of you while studying? Have fun with quotes in 3 languages. Check back here everyday for a new quote. Enjoy learning Vietnamese, Chinese, and English.

💧📄🥀 Trust is like a sheet of paper. You crumple it once, I smooth it out once. Until it becomes so thin it can no longer bear the weight of a single tear. // 信任是张纸，你揉皱一次，我熨平一次，直到它薄得再也经不起一滴泪的重量。 Xìnrèn shì zhāng zhǐ, nǐ róu zhòu yīcì, wǒ yùn píng yīcì, zhídào tā báo de zài yě jīng bù … Read more
💔🕊️🌅 I don’t know what the best ending of love is. Marriage surely isn’t it. Parting is even worse. Maybe the best love is the kind that reaches its peak right from the beginning. // 我不知道什么才是爱情最好的结局，婚姻肯定不是，离别更加不对，应该是爱情在最开始就达到了最好。 Wǒ bù zhīdào shénme cái shì àiqíng zuì hǎo de jiéjú, hūnyīn kěndìng bú shì, líbié gèngjiā bú duì, … Read more

When you feel like “this person is amazing” or “this relationship is so addictive,” pour it over your head right away for your own safety. // 随时给自己准备一盆凉水，当你觉得这个人真好时，这段感情真上头，马上浇下去，保平安。 Suíshí gěi zìjǐ zhǔnbèi yì pén liángshuǐ, dāng nǐ juéde zhège rén zhēn hǎo shí, zhè duàn … Read more
