If you tell me, I will listen. If you show me, I will see. If you let me experience, I will learn!

The way to use life is to do nothing through acting, The way to use life is to do everything through being.

The usefulness of a pot comes from its emptiness.

Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.

Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.

Let muddy water stand and it will become clear.

He that humbles himself shall be preserved entire. He that bends shall be made straight. He that is empty shall be filled. He that is worn out shall be renewed. He who has little shall succeed. He who has much shall go astray.
