Purity and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.

Those who show off do not shine.

He that humbles himself shall be preserved entire. He that bends shall be made straight. He that is empty shall be filled. He that is worn out shall be renewed. He who has little shall succeed. He who has much shall go astray.

When the uncarved wood is split, its parts are put to use. When the sage is put to use, he becomes the head.

Loss is not as bad as wanting more.

When goodness is lost, it is replaced by morality.

Having reached a high level of realization (or having accomplished anything in life), don't get excited or puffed up with pride but remain calm, humble, and in "perfect equanimity" if you want to continue in this deep state of consciousness.
