Foolish youth by Tom Sharp

Getting royally drunk doesn’t make you an emperor. You don’t impress anyone when you wack your sword in the dirt. If you just get going, you’ll have great adventures, like hunting whales and wooing a princess. If you haven’t got enough sense to see what you can do, then hearing it from an old man like me won’t do any good.

短歌行赠王郎司直 by 杜甫 (Du Fu)

王郎酒酣拔剑斫地歌莫哀！我能拔尔抑塞磊落之奇才。 豫章翻风白日动，鲸鱼跋浪沧溟开。且脱佩剑休徘徊。 西得诸侯棹锦水，欲向何门趿珠履？ 仲宣楼头春色深，青眼高歌望吾子，眼中之人吾老矣！
