“Each person’s wish may not be much different from others; that is, the wish for one’s own happiness and prosperity, and for a peaceful country. On this New Year occasion, I would like all of you to take good care of your physical and mental health, so that you can perform your duties at full capacities. Most importantly, for anything you think or want to do, always take into account the public benefits and the value of Thainess. Your work and that of the nation will progress rightfully, without being obstructed, and achieve its ultimate benefits, which are happiness, prosperity and serenity as everyone is wishing for. ”

“The goodwill and unity of everyone as I have seen today makes me delighted and more spirited, as I have always believed that the compassion and goodwill that we have for each other are important factors to bring about unity in an organization and the nation. And if Thai people still have this virtue in mind, there is still hope that whatever situation we are in, Thailand will survive safely and stably all the way through.”

“As I have said for many times, human life is frequented by suffering, danger and difficulty. No one ever live a normal, happy life for good. Therefore, all of us have to prepare our body and mind, and always get ready to encounter and cope with any troubles with vigilance, reasonableness, knowledge and harmony.
“On this New Year occasion, I wish that all Thai citizens keep themselves in vigilance, by always exercising conscience and wisdom. If one has any duty to perform, one should hurry to accomplish it in time.”

“For any affair that is people’s trouble, every person and party must take it as the duty to cooperate and solve the problem with all their strength. Especially this moment, as people are suffering from floods, I would like all of you to cooperate to drive this problem away, and establish sustainable water resources management projects. As for those projects I once mentioned, it’s only my recommendation, not an order. If we consult each other, and agree that it is useful, worth the cost, and practical, then we’ll do it. Most importantly, we must avoid conflicts, and yet give moral support to each other, so that our works achieve good results for happiness of people, and stability of the country.”

“Happiness and prosperity is what everyone mostly wishes for, but it can be achieved only if one stays vigilant, conscious and intellectual all the time. That means for whatever action you will do, use your conscience and intellect to carefully consider about good and bad results, short and long terms, in every dimension. The clear knowledge of good and bad results will help each person to see the right path, knowing what to avoid and what to do, to achieve the true and sustainable benefits, both for oneself and for the public.”

“Borrowing money to spend on not-for-profit activities is not good. This is important. Because if the money you borrowed can generate income, you can pay the debt. If you are debt-free, you won’t be in trouble, and won’t be dishonoured.”
