增广贤文·逢人且说

逢féng人rén且qiě说shuō三sān分fēn话huà，未wèi可kě全quán抛pāo一yí片piàn心xīn。有意yǒu yì栽zāi花huā花huā不bù发fā，无wú心xīn插chā柳liǔ柳liǔ成chéng荫yīn。

To people speak three parts, never bare a whole heart, planted flowers refuse to bloom, an idle willow shades the yard.

画huà虎hǔ画huà皮pí难nán画huà骨gǔ，知zhī人rén知zhī面miàn不知bù zhī心xīn。钱财qián cái如rú粪fèn土tǔ，仁rén义yì值zhí千qiān金jīn。

Drawing a tiger you can paint the skin, never the bone, know the face, never the heart. Money is dung; benevolence is gold.

见jiàn人rén只zhǐ说shuō三sān分fēn话huà，别bié把bǎ一yí片piàn心xīn全quán掏tāo出来chū lái，有意yǒu yì种zhòng花huā花huā不bù开kāi，无wú心xīn插chā柳liǔ柳liǔ成chéng荫yīn；画huà虎hǔ能néng画huà皮pí难nán画huà骨gǔ，知zhī人rén知zhī面miàn不知bù zhī心xīn。

Three parts of speech, a guarded heart, and willows grow where flowers refused.
