If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
The hard and stiff are death's companions. The soft and weak are life's companions.
If you would take, you must first give.
Goodness strives not, and therefore it is not rebuked.
The sage does not attempt anything very big, and thus achieves greatness.
What has not yet emerged is easy to prevent.
