The separate parts make no carriage.

A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

The sage desires no desire, does not value rare treasures, learns without learning, recovers what people have left behind.

Supreme good is like water. Water greatly benefits all things, without conflict. It flows through places that people loathe. Thereby it is close to the Way.

If you really want everything, then give up everything.

Who can enjoy enlightenment and remain indifferent to suffering in the world? This is not in keeping with the Way. Only those who increase their service along with their understanding can be called men and women of Tao.

Those who have compassion when they do battle will be victorious. Those who likewise defend themselves will be safe. Heaven will rescue and protect them with compassion.
