叶帅晚年时,把自己的工作、学习、休息写成三句话,作为座右铭,压在写字台的玻璃板下。这三句话是:抓紧时间工作,挤出时间学习,偷点时间休息。1986年叶剑英逝世时,悼词称他“在重大的历史转折关头,敢于挺身而出,毫不犹豫地作出正确的决断”。更为人们传颂的,是毛泽东赞他的两句话:“诸葛一生唯谨慎,吕端大事不糊涂。” In his later years, Ye Shuai wrote his three words of work, study and rest as motto under the glass of the writing desk. These three sentences are: seize the time work, squeeze out time to learn, steal a little time to rest. When Ye Jianying died in 1986, his eulogy claimed that he “dared to step forward at a momentous juncture in history and make the correct decision without hesitation.” More people to praise is Mao Zedong like his two words: “Zhuge life only cautious, Lv Duan events confused. ”
