Excellent warriors are not violent.

Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.

Wear down to be renewed.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, and treat the various creatures as straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, and treats others as straw dogs.

True humility involves opposites. The truly humble work in silence. Because they do not speak of their accomplishments, credit for them can never be taken away.

Meandering leads to perfection.

If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.
