Those who act will fail. Those who seize will lose.
What Heaven detests, who knows why? Even the sage considers it difficult.
He who stands on tiptoe does not stand firm.
Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.
The eye with which you see God is the same eye with which God sees you; one in seeing; one in knowing; one in loving.
Deal with the small before it becomes large.
