Knowing that we don't know it's humility; thinking that we know what we don't know, is sickness.

True words are not pleasing. Pleasing words are not true.

Searching for precious goods leads astray.

Other people are occupied, I alone am unwilling, like the outcast.

What resists, persists.

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

Life is going forth; death is returning home.
