Do not imagine that an integral being has the ambition of enlightening the unaware or raising worldly people to the divine realm. To her, there is no self and other, and hence no one to be raised; no heaven and hell, and hence no destination.

Great indeed is the sublimity of the creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

A skillful commander is not overbearing. A skillful fighter does not become angry. A skillful conqueror does not compete with people. One who is skillful in using men puts himself below them. This is called the strength to use men. This is called matching Heaven, The highest principle of old.

Knowledge studies others, wisdom is self known.

Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.

Those who have the courage to dare will perish. Those who have the courage not to dare will live.

The one who is filled by virtue is like a newborn baby.
