Come,my friends,Tis not too late to seek a newer world,For my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset，And though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven,That which we are, we are;-- One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will. To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield。

贪心不知足易招侮辱，不如节俭而守廉洁之气。求取功名而冒犯节义，不如节俭而成全节义。巧取豪夺而致积怨，不如节俭而养心性。放纵自己满足欲望，不如节俭而安定性情。
