「尹先生在教育上的公益投入，讓我想起紀伯倫說的一句話，『當你給的只是錢，那不算什­麼，當你給的是自己的時候，那才是真正的給予。』尹先生數十年來默默的”給­予”讓我很感動。」─ 陳長文

“Dr. Yin’s generous contributions to education remind me of a saying of Kahlil Gibran: ‘You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.’ Dr. Yin’s unpublicized giving over the decades has truly moved me.” ─ C.V.Chen

「我欽佩尹先生創辦唐獎。在籌備過程中，尹先生也接受了我的建議，納入「法治」(ru­le of law) 獎項，因為我認為，如果少了「法治」這個獎項，會是唐獎莫大的遺憾。而在納入「法治」­獎後，尹先生也總會提起，『沒有法治，就什麼都沒有了。』這句話深得我心。」在唐獎的­定義下，「法治」指「基於人生而平等之信念，人人，包括國家和國際組織，皆受法律，包­括國際法，之規範；法律應具備程序正當與實體正義之內容；法律應為和平、人權、永續發­展而奮鬥，以追求人類及自然之共同福祉為最高目標。」
在我心目中，「法治」獎得主，應該是那些透過法治的教育與實踐對全世界最大多數的人產­生最大效益的人或機構，才能當之無愧。─ 陳長文

“I admire Dr. Yin for founding the Tang Prize. During the preparation phase, Dr. Yin accepted my suggestion to include a prize category for the Rule of Law, because I think it would be a regret if the Tang Prize did not recognize the importance the Rule of Law has in our world. After including Rule of Law as a prize category, Dr. Yin has often been heard to say, “Without the rule of law, we have nothing.” This resonates exactly with how I feel. According to the Tang Prize Foundation charter, the definition of the Rule of Law is as follows: ‘With the conviction that all individuals are born equal, the Rule of Law means that law should govern and everyone, including states and international organizations, is accountable to the law, including international law, that law should encompass due process and substantive justice, and that ultimately, law should champion peace, human rights, and sustainable development in order to serve the common good of humankind and nature.'”
“In my opinion, the recipients of the prize in the Rule of Law should be persons or organizations who, through implementing and educating others about the Rule of Law, have brought the greatest benefit to the maximum number of people around the world. That would make them truly deserving of the award.” ─ C.V. Chen
