If I have just an ounce of sense, I follow the great Way, and fear only to stray from it.

The greatest revelation is stillness.

People take death lightly. They expect too much of life. That is why people take death lightly.

If you want to know me, look inside your heart.

The True Person benefits yet expects no reward, does the work and moves on. There is no desire to be considered better than others.

When the Way governs the world, the proud stallions drag dung carriages. When the Way is lost to the world, war horses are bred outside the city.

In stillness the muddied water returns to clarity.
