心安平安
清 鄭燮 ( 1693~1765 )

滿者，損之機；虧者，盈之漸。
損於己,則益於彼。
外得人情之平，內得我心之安；
既平且安，福即在是矣。

Peaceful Mind, Peaceful Life
Zheng Xie (1693 - 1765, Qing Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang

To be at gain creates the cause for one to be at loss; to
be at loss means the start for one to be at gain.

One's loss will become a benefit for others. On the
outside, the gain is calmness acquired by others, while
on the inside is peace of mind for the self. Having both
calmness and peace, one is thus blessed with good fortune.
