The truly wise are content to be last. They are, therefore, first. They are indifferent to themselves. They are, therefore self-confident.

Embrace simplicity. Put others first. Desire little.

The group will not prosper if the leader grabs the lion's share of the credit for the good work that has been done.

Kind words elicit trust. Kind thoughts create depth. Kind deeds bring love.

To conquer others is to have power, to conquer yourself is to know the way.

Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.

Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
