Happiness perches on misery. Misery crouches beneath happiness.
Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.
