Those who take long steps cannot keep the pace.

Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.

There is no greater mistake than to make light of an enemy By making light of an enemy many a kingdom has been lost.

Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.

All things issue from it; all things return to it. To find the origin, trace back the manifestations. When you recognize the children and find the mother, you will be free of sorrow. If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength. Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

Much knowledge will corrupt the heart,/When partly understood,/And so the people grow too smart,/But neither wise nor good.

Man's enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.
