The Master's power is like this. He lets all things come and go effortlessly, without desire. He never expects results; thus he is never disappointed. He is never disappointed; thus his spirit never grows old.

Highest good is like water. Because water excels in benefiting the myriad creatures without contending with them and settles where none would like to be, it comes closest to the way.

It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never sins.

Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.

The value of actions lies in their timing.

Nature is not anthropomorphic.

Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself.
