The sage never strives for the great, and thereby the great is achieved.

When great armies go to war, Sorrow is the sole winner.

If you are untrustworthy, people will not trust you.

To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.

Build up virtue, and you master all.

Peace and quiet govern the world.

I observe myself and I come to know others.
