Those who are quiet value the words. When their task is completed, people will say: We did it ourselves.

People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.

All action begins in rest... This is the ultimate truth.

There are three layers to the universe. In the lower, Tai Ching, and the middle, Shan Ching, the hindrance of a physical bodily existence is required. Those who fail to live consistently in accord with the Tao reside here. In the upper, Yu Ching, there is only Tao: the bondage of form is broken, and the only thing existing is the exquisite energy dance of the immortal divine beings.

He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.

The world is won by those who let it go.

For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.
