The wise man does not lay up treasure. The more he expends on others, the more he gains for himself. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.

We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it liveable.

Those who die without being forgotten get longevity.

That which offers no resistance can enter where there is no space.

The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. Teaching without words, performing without actions: that is the Master's way.

Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.

You should rule a great country As you would fry a small fish- With the least turning.
