Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.
LaoziWhen the highest type of people hear Tao (Truth), they diligently practice it. When the average type of people hear Tao, they half believe in it. When the lowest type of people hear Tao, they laugh at it. If they did not laugh, it would not be Tao.
LaoziNothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.
