The Way of the Sage is to act but not to compete.

When superior people hear of the Way, they carry it out with diligence. When middling people hear of the Way, it sometimes seems to be there, sometimes not. When lesser people hear of the Way, they ridicule it greatly. If they didn't laugh at it, it wouldn't be the Way.

These possessions of a simpleton being the three I choose and cherish: to care, to be fair, to be humble.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve

Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment. For only those who are not full are able to be used which brings the feeling of completeness.

Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness.
