Wary, as if surrounded by strangers.

Can you make your soul embrace the One and not lose it?

I have three treasures that I cherish. The first is compassion. The second is moderation. The third is not claiming to be first in the world.

The forceful and violent will not die from natural causes.

The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is.

By moderation one can be generous.
