To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.

Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question..... The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

No disaster is worse than being discontented.

The biggest in the world is small in its beginning.

High and low rest on each other.

Free from desire, you realize the mystery, caught in the desire, you see only the manifestations.

Sincere words are not fine; fine words are not sincere. Those who are skilled (in the Tao) do not dispute (about it); the disputatious are not skilled in it. Those who know (the Tao) are not extensively learned; the extensively learned do not know it.
