The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.

Understanding others is knowledge, Understanding oneself is enlightenment; Conquering others is power, Conquering oneself is strength.

Remember: if you can cease all restless activity, your integral nature will appear.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

He who loves does not dispute: He who disputes does not love.

Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength.

The reality of the building does not consist in the roof and walls, but in the space within to be lived in.
