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.

He who knows he has enough is rich.

Only fools seek power, and the greatest fools seek it through force.

Health is the greatest possession.

By moderation one can be generous.

I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes as common as the grass.

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.
