Some help others in order to receive blessings and admiration. This is simply meaningless. Some cultivate themselves in part to serve others, in part to serve their own pride. They will understand, at best, half of the truth. But those who improve themselves for the sake of the world - to these, the whole truth of the universe will be revealed.

If people live in constant fear of death, and if breaking the law is punished by death, then who would dare?

Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox.

Nurture the spontaneous peaceful life.

The real is empty and the empty real

All men desire to free themselves solely from death; they do not know how to free themselves from life.
