Give up your relentless moralizing, the continual pinpricks which pierce the skin of your fellows. The distinction between good and evil is the sickness of the mind. Give up your morals, and the people will regain a love of their fellows.

The good leader carries water for his people.

To know and not to do is not yet to know.

The Tao which you know is not the eternal Tao

Leadership is your ability to hide your panic from others.

Only he who does not seek to be ahead of others is capable of living in harmony with everyone.

A violent wind does not last for a whole morning.
