《菜根谭》是明朝还初道人洪应明收集编著的一部论述修养、人生、处世、出世的语录集，为旷古稀世的奇珍宝训。对于人的正心修身、养性育德，有不可思议的潜移默化的力量。其文字简炼明隽，兼采雅俗。似语录，而有语录所没有的趣味；似随笔，而有随笔所不易及的整饬；似训诫，而有训诫所缺乏的亲切醒豁；且有雨余山色，夜静钟声，点染其间，其所言清霏有味，风月无边。

洪应明·《菜根谭》

攲器以满覆，扑满以空全；故君子宁居无不居有，宁处缺不处完。

The qi vessel tips over when it is filled with water. The puman moneybox stays whole only so long as it is not filled up with money. Therefore, a man of virtue prefers plain poverty to ostentatious wealth, choosing to live with relative paucity instead of extreme abundance.
