Silence is a great source of strength.

If you want to be free, learn to live simply.

Teach people to let go of their superficial mental chatter and obsessions. Teach people to pay attention to the whole body's reaction to a situation.

The wise leader speaks rarely and briefly. After all, no other natural outpouring goes on and on. It rains and then it stops. It thunders and then it stops.

Have respect for every person and every issue directed at you. Do not dismiss any encounter as insignificant.

The leader teaches more through being than through doing. The quality of one's silence conveys more than long speeches.

Allow regular time for silent reflection. Turn inward and digest what has happened. Let the senses rest and grow still.
