The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that. What is grievance? The baggage of old thought and emotion.

There is no illusion great than fear.

The most fundamental seems fickle.

Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.

He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.

Meandering leads to perfection.

We put thirty spokes to make a wheel: But it is on the hole in the center that the use of the cart hinges. We make a vessel from a lump of clay; But it is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful. We make doors and windows for a room; But it is the empty spaces that make the room livable. Thus, while existence has advantages, It is the emptiness that makes it useful.
