Taking things lightly must lead to big difficulties.

To manage your mind, know that there is nothing, and then relinquish all attachment to nothingness.

How do I know about the world? By what is within me.

The Tao is unpredictable to those that live according to plans. Only those who have no agenda are in harmony with the Tao.

The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small.

Let the country be small, and the inhabitants few.

With virtue and quietness one may conquer the world.
