The sage desires no desire, does not value rare treasures, learns without learning, recovers what people have left behind.

The value of actions lies in their timing.

Without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony.

Arms are instruments of ill omen, not the instruments of the gentleman. When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish.

Activity conquers coldness. Stillness conquers heat.

Movement overcomes cold.

To manage your mind, know that there is nothing, and then relinquish all attachment to nothingness.
