1. Interpretation of the quotations

①Beauty more than bitterness makes the heart break.(Sara Teasdale

Beauty is good and of value. But the pursuit of beauty at the cost of other things may cause even bigger trouble than what pain and hardship will bring about.

Simple beauty is the best thing that you can be awarded of all the things in the world.

①Sleep is better than medicine.(Proverb)

Good health relies more on a good night’s sleep than on medicine.

②A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you’re fast sleep.(Disney World advertisement)

A dream reflects what you really feel in your subconscious world.

③. A light supper, a good night’s sleep, and a fine morning have often made a hero of the same man who, by indigestion, a restless night, and a rainy morning, would have proved a coward.(Lord Chesterfield 1694-1773, British Statesman, Author)

When one refrains from having a big supper, enjoys a good night’s sleep, and wakes up to a beautiful morning, he/she will feel like a hero. But if the same person eats too much in the evening, not sleeping well throughout the night, and wakes up to rainy morning, he/she may suffer from a lack of confidence.

his friend happens to be lacking respectability in character.
