The highest benevolence acts without purpose.
He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.
Who can wait quietly until the mud settles? Who can remain still until the moment of action?
A man is born gentle and weak. At death he is hard and stiff.
Loving, hating, having expectations: all these are attachments. Attachment prevents the growth of one's true being.
. . . Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom.
