秉忱　林钰堂

持守乏力沟通难，世情大抵顺势为；
痴狂少数恋缠斗，志洁稀罕秉赤忱。

跋

欲持守一定准绳，往往力有不逮，人际沟通，受阻于成见及作法，难以交融。世间大抵皆是顺应情势之举止。少数非痴即狂，热衷于彼此纠缠，争斗不休。更为稀罕，则是志向高洁，唯秉赤忱以处世。

Based on Sincerity　Yutang Lin

Insufficient strength to sustain, difficult to communicate,
Worldly matters are mostly done to fit the circumstances.
Deluded or crazy few got absorbed in entangling fighting.
Pure aspiration rare that will survive if based on sincerity.

Comment:

To maintain certain standards it is often the case that available strength is insufficient. Communications among people are difficult to come to terms due to the hindrance of prejudices and manners of approaches. Consequently, worldly affairs are usually done as results of circumstances. Few are deluded or crazy to the extent of being absorbed in incessant fighting that entangles. Rare are pure aspirations upheld by lives based on sincerity.
