My teachings are easy to understand and easy to put into practice. Yet your intellect will never grasp them, and if you try to practice them, you'll fail. My teachings are older than the world. How can you grasp their meaning? If you want to know me, look inside your heart.

What is well rooted cannot be pulled up. What is firmly grasped will not slip loose. It will be honoured from generation to generation.

He who holds balance...has attained the highest post in the world.

Wise men hear and see as little children do.

Abandon learning and there will be no sorrow.

He who walks on tip-toe does not walk on solid ground.

He who knows does not speak. He who speaks does not know.
