A popular series of maxims which Wong Honfan copied onto his personal stationary in Dec, 1954:

調養怒中氣 謹防信口言

留心忙裡錯 愛惜有時錢

謙恭原益己 輕薄易招嫌

守道求安樂 存心聽自然

"Restrain your impatience and guard against speaking carelessly.

Be mindful in moments of haste so that you do not waste your time or money.

Modesty will benefit you, whereas flippancy will only invite dislike.

Hold to the Way and seek happiness, and therefore do what feels natural."
