Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.

By moderation one can be generous.

Who is unhappy with little, won't be with much; who doesn't appreciate the small won't be able to take care of the large; who doesn't have enough with enough is at the margin or virtue, for the physical body lives from one day to another and if it gets what it really needs, there will be time for meditation, as long as if we try to give it everything it desires, endless will be the task.

Geese are white, crows are black. No argument will change this.

What resists, persists.
