證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語 Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• 困難不在自己，在別人；障礙不在別人，在自己。最怕的是自己障礙自己。
Others may have given you troubles but you create your own obstacles.
• 能守住本分，扮演好角色，才是真正成功而偉大的人生。
Only if one can fulfill his/her responsibility, he or she can then live a successful and great life.
• 現在的社會什麼都不缺，就缺「愛心」，以致許多人受欲念薰染而迷失自己。
Compassion is what our society really needs. Many of us have got lost due to influence of greed and lack of compassion.
• 若左鄰右舍能相互關懷，彼此就是對方的菩薩。
If the neighbors have compassion for each other, they can build a great and mutually beneficial friendship.
