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

The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure.

Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.

Conduct your triumph as a funeral.

As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.

Prepare while it's easy.

With virtue and quietness one may conquer the world.
