THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 156 by HAN SHAN

First Line: I'LL TELL YOU A THING OR TWO
Last Line: I'VE PUT THEM ON THE SUNLIT SIDE
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; WISDOM;
I'll tell you a thing or two
that will prove to you I'm wise
don't sell your house because you're broke
when you become rich buy land
an empty stomach won't go far
a pillow isn't just for sleep
hoping people see these words
I've put them on the sunlit side
