He who prides himself upon wealth and honor hastens his own downfall.

Great acts are made up of small deeds.

The greatest revelation is stillness.

The men who are great live with that which is substantial, they do not stay with that which is superficial; they abide with realities, they do not remain with what is showy. The one they discard, the other they hold.

The highest truth cannot be put into words.

Good words shall gain you honor in the marketplace, but good deeds shall gain you friends among men.

Those who know do not speak; Those who speak do not know. Stop up the openings, Close down the doors, Rub off the sharp edges. Unravel all confusion. Harmonize the light, Give up contention: This is called finding the unity of life.
