The sage attends to the belly, and not to what he sees.

It is better not to make merit a matter of reward Lest people conspire and contend.

The Tao is told is not the Tao.

Know the white, But keep the black, Be an example to the world! Being an example to the world, Ever true and unwavering, Return to the infinite.

The truly great ones rely on substance, and not on surface, hold on to the fruit, and not to the flower.

The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure.

Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
