宠辱不惊，看庭前花开花落；去留无意，望天外云卷云舒。

海纳百川，有容乃大；壁立万仞，无欲则刚。

浮躁一分，到处便抬尤悔；因循二字，从来误尽英雄。

任人须知人，人须容人，人和事就。

无事不找事，有事不怕事，事在人为。

安能尽如人意，要当无愧我心。

修身岂为名传世，作事惟思利及人。

事在人为，休言万般都是命。

境由心造，退后一步自然宽。

功者难成而易败，时者难得而易失;

天与弗取，反受其咎，时至不行反其殃。

2

古之所谓豪杰之士，必有过人之节，忍人有所不能忍者;

自处超然，处人蔼然；无事澄然，有事坦然；得意淡然，失意泰然。27 观天地生物气象，学圣贤克己功夫。

心不在焉，视而不见，听而不闻，食而不知其味。此谓修身在正其心。（《大学》）

德者，本也；财者，末也。（《大学》）

为人子，止于孝；为人父，止于慈；与国人交，止于信。

（《大学》） 人莫知其子之恶，莫知其苗之硕。（《大学》）

人一能之，己百之；人十能之，已千之。（《中庸》）

大学之道，在明明德，在亲民，在止于至善。知止而后有定，定而后能静，静而后能安，安而后能虑，虑而后能得。物有本末，事有始终。知所先后，则近道矣。（《大学》）

好而知其恶，恶而知其美者，天下鲜矣。（《大学》）

子曰：“博学之，审问之，慎思之，明辩之，笃行之。” （《中庸》）

治国必先齐家。（《大学》）

凡事豫则立，不豫则废。（《中庸》）

大成若却，其用不弊。大盈若冲，其用不穷。大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辩若讷。躁胜寒，静胜热，清静为天下正。圣人之道，为而不争。信言不美，美言不信。善者不辩，辩者不善。知者不博，博者不知。圣人不积，既以为人己愈有；既以与人己愈多。天之道，利而不害；圣人之道，为而不争。

心以静为贵，欲以寡为贵，思以敏为贵，学以勤为贵，友以诚为贵，情以挚为贵，穷以志为贵，富以仁为贵，话以少为贵，喜以度为贵，怒以忍为贵，体以健为贵！

4

长知足，心安然；甘淡泊，乐无边；为人喜，解人难；忘忧喜，严律己；莫烦恼，忍为先；识时务，永向前！

无贪欲，心胸宽；广交友，德为先；抑愤怒，能方圆；烦恼事，抛云端；和邻里，解人难；家和睦，心里甜！

寡言养气，寡事养神，寡思养精，寡欲养身，事从容则有余味，人从容则有余年，精神不蔽，四体长春！

言宜实，心宜诚，福宜惜，慧宜增，思宜宽，虑宜远，气宜柔，骨宜刚，志宜大，胆宜壮！宜静默，宜从容，宜谨严，宜俭约。

谦退是保身第一法，安祥是处事第一法，

涵容是待人第一法，恬淡是养心第一法。

涵养，全得一缓字，凡言语、动作皆是。

心平气和四字，非有涵养者不能做。

5

心不妄念，身不妄动，口不妄言，君子所以存诚。

内不欺己，外不欺人，上不欺天，君子所以慎独。

心术，以光明笃实为第一；容貌，以正大老成为第一；

言语，以简重真切为第一；平生无一事可瞒人，此是大快。

以情恕人，以理律己。

以恕己之心恕人，以责人之心责己。

缓字，可以免悔。退字，可以免祸。

何以息谤？无辩。何以止怨？不争。

人之谤我也，与其能辩，不如能容。人之侮我也，与其能防，不如能化。

受得小气，则不至于受大气，吃得小亏，则不至于吃大亏。

6

忍与让足以消无穷之灾悔，古人有言：终身让路，不失尺寸。

任难任之事要有力而无气，处难处之人要有知而无言。

善有威者，不轻怒；善用恩者，不妄施。

激之而不怒者，非有大量，必有深机。

党人之诈，不形于言；受人之悔，不动于色。此中有无穷意味，亦有无限受用。

恶，莫大于纵己之欲；祸，莫大于言人之非。

临事，须替别人想；论人，先将自己想。

以淡字交友，以聋字止谤，以刻字责己，以弱字御侮。

居安，虑危；处治，思乱。

无心者，公；无我者，明。

7

喜闻人过，不如喜闻己过；乐道己善，何如乐道人善？

持身不可太皎洁，一切污辱垢积要容纳得；

处世不可太分明，一切贤愚好丑要包容得。

世人喜言无好人，此孟浪语也，推原其病，皆从不忠不怒所致，

自家便不是个好人，更何暇责备他人乎。

好合不如好散，此言极有理，凡处一事，交一人，无不皆然。

为善，最乐；读书，便佳。

以虚养心，以德养身，以仁养天下万物，以道养天下万世。

气，忌盛；心，忌满；才，忌露。

大着肚皮，容物；立定脚跟，做人。

8

欲论人者，先论己；欲知人者，先自知。

小人乐闻君子之过，君子耻闻小人之恶。

此存心厚薄之分，故人品因之而别。

步步占先者，必有人以挤之；事事争胜者，必有人以挫之。

明镜止水，以澄心；泰山乔狱，双立身；青天白日，以应事；霁月光风，以待人。

度量，如海涵春育；持身，如洁冰清；襟袍，如光风霁月；气概，如乔狱泰山。

心志要苦，意趣要乐，气度要宏，言动要谨；书有未曾经我读，事无不可对人言。

择善人而交, 择善书而读, 择善言而听, 择善行而从。

处事不必求功，无过便是功。为人不必感德，无怨便是德。

9

人之心胸，多欲则窄，寡欲则宽。

宁可清贫自乐，不可浊富多忧。

受思深处宜先退，得意浓时便可休。

势不可使尽，福不可享尽，便宜不可占尽，聪明不可用尽。

须交有道之人，莫结无义之友。饮清静之茶，莫贪花色之酒。

开方便之门，闲是非之口。

多门之室生风，多言之人生祸。

“我欲”是贫穷的标志。事能常足，心常惬，人到无求品自高。

人生至恶是善谈人过；

人生至愚恶闻己过。

诸恶莫做，众善奉行，莫以善小而不为，莫以恶小而为之。

10

莫妒他长，妒长，则己终是短。

莫护己短，护短，则己终不长。

做人不必与俗同，亦不宜与俗异。

做事不必令人喜，亦不可令人憎。

心量狭小，则多烦恼，心量广大，智慧丰饶。

“恶”，恐人知，便是大恶。“善”，欲人知，不是真善。

扶危周急固为美事。能不自夸，则其德厚矣！

遇顺境，处之淡然，遇逆境，处之泰然。

人为善，福虽未至，祸已远离；

人为恶，祸虽未至，福已远离。

不妄求，则心安，不妄做，则身安。

11

不自重者，取辱。不自长者，取祸。

不自满者，受益。不自足者，博闻。

智者顺时而谋，愚者逆时而动。

见己不是，万善之门。见人不是，诸恶之根。

念头端正，福星临，念头不正，灾星照。

善人行善，从乐入乐，从明入明。

恶人行恶，从苦入苦，从冥入冥。

寡言养气，寡事养神，寡思养精，寡念养性。

合抱之木，生于毫末，九层之台，起于累土；千里之行始于足下。

祸兮，福之所依；福兮，祸之所伏。

Misfortune, that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune underlies.

Expend the respect of the aged in one’s family to that of other families; expend the love of the young ones in one’s family to that of other families.

士不可以不弘毅，任重而道远。仁以为己任，不亦重乎？死而后己，不亦远乎？

An educated gentleman cannot but be resolute and broad-minded, for he has taken up a heavy responsibility and a long course. Is it not a heavy responsibility, which is to practice benevolence? Is it not a long course, which will end only with his death?

士之为人，当理不避其难，临患忘利，遗生行义，视死如归。

A moral intellectual is one who escapes no danger in face of truth, discards personal interests in front of disaster, practices righteousness at the expense of life, and looks upon death as going home.

The passage of time is just like the flow of water, which goes on day and night.
