The sage attends to the belly, and not to what he sees.
Words spoken about the Way have no taste. When looked at, there's not enough to see. When listened to, there's not enough to hear. When used, it is never exhausted.
Human being's essential nature is perfect and faultless.
A good person is the bad person's teacher. A bad person is the good person's task.
Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man's tools. He uses them only when he has no choice.
Because he (the Sage) opposes no one, no one in the world can oppose him.
