我們這裡山腳下有一間廟，經常有人從很遠的地方來拜拜，反而我們這裡的人沒去拜過，這就是人家說的「離廟近不在乎神」。

現代人孩子生得少，總是百般呵護、萬般疼惜，有時就會溺愛過頭，人家說「寵豬頂灶，寵兒不孝」，現代父母得要謹記在心。

自己的孩子沒教好，老是丟人現眼，還敢罵鄰居的孩子沒家教，當然會被人挖苦諷刺，人家說「自取其辱」就是這樣。

管教孩子除了處罰，也要讓他知道哪裡不對，要如何改進，若一味打罵，起先會怕，後來就像人家說的「常罵不聽話，常打不怕痛」，愈來愈不受教。

俗諺說：「清明節不回家祭祖掃墓，會背負背祖忘本之名；而過年不回家的出外人，可能是無家庭觀念或是沒妻小的人。」就算你現在在外頭租的屋子離父母家很遠，逢年過節都得回去。

他這個人安安靜靜但陰險狡猾，聽說心腸還非常壞，俗話說：「平時不動聲色，一旦發狠咬人，就會咬得很深，毫不留情。」你若真的想邀他合夥做生意，千萬要小心啊！

父母教育子女是一件很艱難的工作，「能夠生出孩子的身體，卻不能夠生出孩子的心思」，有些孩子不受教，甚至忤逆父母，讓他們氣得不知如何是好。
