Sagely Solutions For Everyday Problems

My translation of calligraphy by Ven. Master Chin Kung:

Face difficulty with liberality,  
Face hostility with patience, 
Steer through scrambles 
With leisurely grace and pace, 
For peace is found in temperance 
And the love of excess speech
Is the root of every calamity!
