The universe is deathless; Is deathless because, having no finite self, it stays infinite. A sound man by not advancing himself stays the further ahead of himself, By not confining himself to himself sustains himself outside himself: By never being an end in himself he endlessly becomes himself.

He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.

To retreat after a work well done is Heaven's Way.

If one desires to receive one must first give. This is called profound understanding.

Greed is costly. Assembled fortunes are lost.

Deal with the small before it becomes large.

The seed of mystery lies in muddy water. How can I perceive this mystery? Water becomes clear through stillness. How can I become still? By flowing with the stream.
