If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Take care with the end as you do with the beginning

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

Because one believes in oneself, one doesn't try to convince. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn't need others' approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

The best soldier does not attack. The superior fighter succeeds without violence. The greatest conqueror wins without struggle. The most successful manager leads without dictating. This is intelligent non aggressiveness.

He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Although he travels all day, the sage never loses sight of his luggage carts.
