The Tao principle is what happens of itself.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Find a teacher who is an integral being, a beacon who extends his light and virtue with equal ease to those who appreciate him and those who don't. Shape yourself in his mold, bathe in his nourishing radiance, and reflect it out to the rest of the world.

Good walking leaves no track behind it.

As it acts in the world, the Tao is like the bending of a bow. The top is bent downward; the bottom is bent up. It adjusts excess and deficiency so that there is perfect balance.

A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.

The rigid tree will be felled.
