Shall I tell you what knowledge is? It is to know both what one knows and what one does not know.

The Master said, A gentleman, in his plans, thinks of the Way; he does not think how he is going to make a living. Even farming sometimes entails 5 times of shortage; and even learning may incidentally lead to high pay. But a gentleman's anxieties concern the progress of the Way; he has no anxiety concerning poverty.

Acquire new knowledge whilst thinking over the old, and you may become a teacher of others.

But if you do not have the Tao yourself, what business have you spending your time in vain efforts to bring corrupt politicians into the right path?

To find the Tao, there is nowhere you need to search. If it is not inside you, it is not the Tao.

The superior person is calm and composed; the lesser person is continuously worried and distressed.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.
