俗云:「廉者常樂無求,貪者常憂不足。」慾望所期而力不能及,行事進退,講求尺度合宜。

  俗云:事能知足心常泰,人到無求品自高。清廉之人,知足常樂,不以追求名利為目標,深知生不带來,死亦带不走的道理,自然心寬無求:貪婪之人內心充滿慾望,永無止境,身陷求不得苦,一生憂鬱煩惱。因人各有命,明白命中有時终須有的道理,休其良心本性,奉善而行,遵循天地自然的規則,行事自然也會合乎禮義。

  As the saying goes, “The incorruptible are always happy without asking for more; the greedy are always worried about not having enough.” Notwithstanding one’s desire to get what he can’t, he should follow proper protocols in all his actions.
