What people loathe the most is to be orphaned, desolate, unworthy. But this is what princes and kings call themselves.

Fame of self: Which matters more? Self or wealth: Which is more precious? Gain or loss: Which is more painful?

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

I do not interfere, and people become rich by themselves.

Why not simply honor your parents, love your children, help your brothers and sisters, be faithful to your friends, care for your mate with devotion, complete your work cooperatively and joyfully, assume responsibility for problems, practice virtue without first demanding it of others, understand the highest truths yet retain an ordinary manner? That would be true clarity, true simplicity, true mastery.

When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people's hearts.

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