Man, when living, is soft and tender; when dead, he is hard and tough. All animals and plants when living are tender and delicate; when dead they become withered and dry. Therefore it is said: the hard and tough are parts of death; the soft and tender are parts of life.

It's hard to keep your balance standing tip-toe.

That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved.

Searching for precious goods leads astray.

Praise and disgrace cause fear.

For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.

Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.
