When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself; for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you.

Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.

Obscure, like muddy waters.

The feminine values are the fountain of bliss. Know the masculine, Keep to the feminine.

The highest tone is hard to hear.
