. . . learn to value what is important today in the subtle realm rather than what appears desirable tomorrow in the worldly realm.
LaoziOther people are joyous, like on the feast of the ox, like on the way up to the terrace in the spring. I alone am inert, giving no sign, like a newborn baby who has not learned to smile.
LaoziIn the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Laozi
