人若自大,其实正显示自己的无知

人能谦虚,其实正表示自己的无求

Arrogance betrays ignorance.

modesty reveals contentment.
 

能不计一时成败,才能成就千秋之伟业

能不计个人得失,才能图谋万民之福祉

Indifference to gain frees you for great service
 

有远见者,看未来而不看眼前

有抱负者,积德业而不积盛名

有作为者,争千秋而不争一时

有弘愿者,为大众而不为自己

Wise people look to the future,not to today.

Right-aspiring people prefer virtue to status.

Able people prefer great deeds to a moment's fame.

People who embrace a great vow work for everybody,not just themselves.
 

不懂反省的人,永远看不到自己的缺点

不肯奋发的人,永远用不到自己的长处

Examine yourself to learn your faults.

Work hard to make your merits useful.
 

失意时要“退一步想”,自我沉潜

得意时要“想下一步”,自我惕厉

When things are not going well,stay calm.

When things are going well,plan for a crisis.
 

为人,群而不尝,则可以留美名

A general who does not yield will be cheered.

An official who is impartial will be praised.

做事可以失败,但不能做人失败

过去可以失败,但不能未来失败

Your business failed yesterday,not tomorrow.
 

功名富贵都是人世虚荣

胸襟浩大才是人生受用

Wealth and position are empty glories.

要做主管,先要懂得做属下

If you wish to be first,learn to be second.

助成别人因缘,也是护生

Speech that deepens despair is a kind of knife.
