A golden scale weighs your heart

The poem

一條金秤等君情無減無增無重輕為是平生心正直文章不識義皆明

In English

A golden scale weighs your heart:nothing added, nothing taken, no heavier, no lighter.Because your heart has been upright throughout your life,even without literary skill, you are clear in righteousness.

What it says

A golden scale weighs a person's heart, adding and subtracting nothing. Because your heart has been upright, you are clear on what is right even without much learning. It affirms honesty, suggesting that sincerity and decency matter more than polish.

A thought to take with you

Stay honest at heart; that counts for more than looking impressive.
