003


父子和而家不败,兄弟和而家不分。
乡党和而争讼息,夫妇和而家道兴。
只缘花底莺声巧,遂使天边雁影分。

The family cannot decline if father and sons are harmonious; 

the family cannot break if brothers are harmonious。

The family financial situation will get prosperous if husband and wife are harmonious; 

there will be no lawsuits if country people are harmonious.

It is just the song of the oriole is too sweet among the flowers that causes the flying wild geese to be disordered in the sky 

--- a metaphor that means it is the woman’s pillow talk that makes her husband break with his brothers. 


诸恶莫作,众善奉行。
知己知彼,将心比心。
责人之心责己,爱己之心爱人。
再三须慎意,第一莫欺心。
宁可人负我,切莫我负人。

Don’t do any evil thing 

but try your best to do every kind of good deed.

Know yourself and others and compare your intention with theirs.

Reproach yourself with the heart you use to reproach others; 

love others with the heart you use to love yourself.

Be careful and careful don’t do any evil against your conscience

Better be wrongly treated than wrongly treat others.
