Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of beings, but contemplate their return. Each separate being in the universe returns to the common source. Returning to the source is serenity. If you don't realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow. When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king. Immersed in the wonder of the Tao, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready.

I alone have the mind of a fool, and am all muddled and vague. The people are so smart and bright. While I am just dull and confused.

The wise man knows he doesn't know.

When you extend your goodwill in every direction, regardless of circumstances, you begin to see that we are all one.

The Way is hidden and nameless. Still only the Way nourishes and completes.

If you really want everything, then give up everything.

Nothing and no one in the world is valuable or worthless.
