What is a good man? A teacher of a bad man. What is a bad man? A good man's charge?
Conduct your triumph as a funeral.
The sage's Way is to act and not to contend.
He who loves does not dispute: He who disputes does not love.
Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
