1968年，美社家肯特思（Kent. M. Keith）提出「矛盾戒律」（The Paradoxical Commandments），目的是希望人好人，不要因程出面回而放。
戒律一人都是、不理、利己主的，但是要人
戒律二你做好事，人你是自己打算，但是要做好事
戒律三你成功，得假朋友和真人，但是要成功
戒律四今天行了善事，明天就被忘，但是要行善
戒律五坦率待人常使你受到害，但是要坦率
戒律六目光大的人，被心胸隘的小人攻，但是要目光大
戒律七人同情弱者，只追捧者，但是要弱者出
戒律八你多年建立的成就可能於一旦，但是要建
戒律九你人，出好心好，但是要人
戒律十你世界出最的西，遇上重大挫折，但是要上最好的你。
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
“人一切所行的，在自己眼中看清；惟有耶和衡量人心。” (箴言16:2)
