The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind. The triumph of violence ends in a festival of mourning.

Use the Light that dwells within you to regain your natural clarity of sight.

To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.

The wise man does not lay up treasure. The more he expends on others, the more he gains for himself. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment. For only those who are not full are able to be used which brings the feeling of completeness.

Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesn't try to force issues or defeat enemies by force of arms. For every force there is a counterforce. Violence, even well intentioned, always rebounds upon oneself. The Master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao. Because he believes in himself, he doesn't try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn't need others' approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.

Face the simple fact before it comes involved. Solve the small problem before it becomes big.
