If you need help with Chinese idioms, you can try the Chinese idiom dictionary at http://www.zdic.net/cy/
It's pretty powerful. Let's say you don't know the full idiom, you can simply enter its partial character and use "?" to fill up the one you don't know. E.g. 一 ? 风顺 for 一帆风顺

One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. If you are not simple and frugal, your ambition will not sparkle. If you are not calm and cool, you will not reach far. - Zhugeliang
