Original text:

Plant flowers intentionally, but not unintentionally.

It's hard to draw bones when drawing tiger skin.

Money is like dirt, and righteousness is worth a thousand dollars.

The flowing water on the beach is unintentional, and the white clouds are unintentional.

At that time, if you don't look up, who will believe that the East flows in the depths of the ocean?

Translation:

What I wanted to do didn't achieve my goal, but what I didn't expect to do actually became.

It's easy to understand people's surface, but it's difficult to understand people's hearts and thoughts.

Money is not important, but benevolence and morality are valuable.

It is not intentional for water to flow down the beach from the mountain, nor is it unintentional for white clouds to pass through the hole.
