退後,是爲了跳得更遠
壓縮,是爲了彈得更高
休息,是爲了走得更長
韬光,是爲了學得更博
Step back to jump further.
Crouch back to spring higher.
Rest to walk longer.
Withdraw to learn better.

失去丈夫的寡婦必須擦幹眼淚
才有力量撫養子女
沒有雙親的孩子更要堅強奮鬥
才有勇氣面對現實
缺乏師資的學生唯有勤修自學
才能尋得學問入門
不同黨派的官員若能拼除門戶
才能相謀治國之方
Widows must conquer sorrow to raise children.
Deprived children must be strong to face society.
Badly taught students must be their own teachers.
Officials must get rid of prejudices to govern.
092
秋天積谷存糧,自然不愁嚴冬來臨
白天設奮照明,自然不怕夜幕低垂
平時積德養望,自然不憂毀譽加身
生前奉獻社會,自然不懼遺憾後世
Store food in autumn to survive the cold winter.
Oil your lamp by day to read by night.
Increase your virtue to disdain slander.
Be devoted to society to increase your merit.
093
人貴立志,有志者事竟成
人貴存誠,精誠者金石開
人貴明理,達理者去向通
人貴行善,心善者貴人來
To succeed,be determined.
To persuade your opponents,be honest.
To advance your career,be intelligent.
To gain patronage,do good.
094
感情若是一廂情願,則難天長地久
財富若是巧取豪奪,必有敗壞之虞
名聲若是譁衆取寵,終將遭人唾棄
地位若是坐享其成,便會引起非議
Unrequited love cannot last.
Stolen wealth will disappear.
A boaster”s fame will fade away.
Unearned rank will be censured.
095
開發潛能,更新觀念,這是自我建設
懶惰懈怠,不結人緣,這是自我破壞
成就自己,造福別人,這是自我尊重
打擊別人,榮耀自己,這是自我毀滅
Keep learning to keep growing.
Always make good affinity to progress.
Work for society to gain self-esteem.
Doing harm for gain wil destroy you.
096
有大胸襟,方有大格局
有大格局,方能成大事
Generosity and determination let you think big.
Thinking big,you can achieve great things.
097
有了國防建設,國家才能富強安定
有了文教建設,社會才能和諧有禮
有了經濟建設,民生才能富足安樂
有了交通建設,地方才能繁榮發展
有了倫理建設,家庭才能和諧尊重
有了自我建設,生命才能寬闊開展
National defense keeps a nation rich and stable.
Culture keeps society charming and polite.
A strong economy makes society rich and happy.
Public transit brings wealth and development.
Ethical conduct makes families open and caring.
Self-respect makes you vital and content.
098
“過去”的時間已經悄然而逝
永不回頭
“現在”的時間如箭一般飛走
轉眼即逝
“未來”的時間猶在慢慢接近
擦身而過
“當下”的時間能夠即時把握
刹那永恒
The past is gone and never will return.
The present flies and soon will disappear.
The future comes but cannot yet be seized.
The present must be seized and never let go.
099
不殺生而護生
如在人壽保險公司投保
不偷盜而喜舍
如在銀行中存入了巨款
不邪淫而自重
如在幸福家庭中受表揚
不妄語而慎言
如在美麗語言學校獲獎
不吸毒而守道
如在健康保險公司投保
Not to kill but to save is like life insurance.
Not to steal but to give is like money in a bank.
Not to misbehave sexually but to behave well is like gaining a happy family.
Not to lie but to speak truth is like passing a language school.
Not to take drugs but to stay clean is like health insurance.

擁有財物而不用,和“沒有”並無差別
擁有金錢不會用,和“無用”無有不同
一心想要“擁有”,不如提倡“用有”
“擁有”只是富者,“用有”才是智者
Hoarding without use is like not having.
Money you don”t know how to use is worthless.
Better use well what you have than try to own more.
Property is empty possession unless you have wisdom to use it well.
