Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
A journey of a thousand leagues begins beneath one's feet.
For all things difficult to acquire, the intelligent man works with perseverance.
When wisdom and knowledge appear, great pretense arises.
He who knows how to be aggressive, and yet remains patient, becomes a receptacle for all of Nature's lessons.
Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course? Can you step back from you own mind and thus understand all things? Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.
