證嚴上人的叮嚀與靜思語:
• 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。
• 能守住本分,扮演好角色,才是真正成功而偉大的人生。
• 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。
• 若左鄰右舍能相互關懷,彼此就是對方的菩薩。

Master Cheng Yen’s Teaching and Jing-Si Aphorisms:
• Others may have given you troubles but you create your own obstacles.
• Only if one can fulfill his/her responsibility, he or she can then live a successful and great life.
• Compassion is what our society really needs. Many of us have got lost due to influence of greed and lack of compassion.
• If the neighbors have compassion for each other, they can build a great and mutually beneficial friendship.
