讀書學理,自我檢束身心,非以理責人;觀言察色,自我合宜進退,非以檢視他人。

  讀書學理,為的是反省和約束自身身心,而不是以所學之理苛責他人;與人交往,多觀察多聽取,及時調整自己的言行,是為了尊重對方,而不是以挑剔的眼光審視對方。一切的學習皆是從內而起,一切的道德皆是對自己而行。

  In one’s study to learn reasoning, one should use what he has learned to self-examine his own body and heart, instead of criticizing others. To listen to others’ words and observing their facial expression, one should use what he has sensed to form his basis for acting properly, instead of examining others.
