If people are not afraid of dying, why threaten them with death?

A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.

Without going outside, you may know the whole world, without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven. The farther you go, the less you know. Thus the sage knows without traveling; he sees without looking; he works without doing.

The highest tone is hard to hear.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day. Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).

Embrace simplicity. Put others first. Desire little.
