《事天自安箴》：
存心養性，寓理帥氣。盡性知命，物我一體。
不憂不懼，樂道順天。無聲無臭，于穆不己。
以蔣中正總統民國39年自書之「養天自樂」、「事天自安」兩箴，做成瓷盤。當時蔣中正總統共寫有四箴，紀念堂典藏之另一款GF400090蔣中正總統嘉言大瓷盤（四式）亦有四式，此款僅兩式，原因不詳。
民國34年抗戰勝利之際，蔣中正總統自為五箴，曰養天自樂，曰知天自得，曰畏天自修，曰事天自強，曰希天自復，以為個人修養的依歸。民國39年，即政府遷台之次年，黨國面臨改造求新的關鍵，個人面臨復行視事的重責，蔣中正總統在10月25日，台灣光復5週年當日，個人六秩晉四生日前6天，將其五年前所作五箴修訂為「養天自樂」、「事天自安」、「法天自強」、「畏天自修」四箴，親筆書寫，做為對自己的惕勵。

Self-settling by Honoring One's Nature to Serve Heaven:
Preserve in heart benevolence and propriety to nourish one's nature / Harbor principles of our nature to lead on initiatives Complete development of every nature and recognize the ordinances of Heaven / All things are of one body with me
Worry not and fear not / Be delight in ways doing and accord with Heaven The ordinances Heaven are soundless and odorless / How profound are they and unceasing
Chiang Kai-shek made porcelain plates inscribed with the mottoes "Achieving Longevity by Nurturing Self-fulfillment" and "Self-settling by Honoring One's Nature to Serve Heaven" which he wrote in 1950. At that time, he composed four mottoes. Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall has collected another item, GF400090 Porcelain Plate with Chiang Kai-shek's Mottoes (four styles), has four styles, but this item has only two styles, for reason unknown.
In 1945, during the occasion of the Victory over Japan, Chiang Kai-shek wrote five mottoes for setting personal goal of accomplishment for carrying out self-cultivation, including "Achieving Longevity by Nurturing Self-fulfillment," "Getting Hold of Learning as in Oneself by Knowing Heaven," "Self-cultivating by Standing in Awe of Heaven," "Self-empowering by Following the Way of Heaven," and "Self-recovering by Admiring Heaven." In 1950, the second year after relocation of the central government to Taiwan, Nationalist party and the state had faced critical issues of transformation and innovation, and so did Chiang Kai-shek, he was faced with the major responsibilities of re-assumed duties as President of the Republic of China. On October 25, the fifth anniversary of Retrocession Day, six days before his 64th birthday, Chiang Kai-shek revised the five mottoes made five years ago into four mottoes: "Achieving Longevity by Nurturing Self-fulfillment," "Self-settling by Honoring One's Nature to Serve Heaven," "Self-empowering by Following the Way of Heaven," and "Self-cultivating by Standing in Awe of Heaven." He handwrote them to remain vigilant.
