The great image lacks shape.

If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart.

Do you want to improve the world? I don't think it can be done. The world is sacred. It can't be improved. If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it. If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it. There is a time for being ahead, a time for being behind; a time for being in motion, a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous, a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe, a time for being in danger. The Master sees things as they are, without trying to control them. She lets them go their own way, and resides at the center of the circle.

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

Hold on to the great image, and the whole world follows, follows unharmed, content and completely at peace.

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honors.

A tree that is unbending, is easily broken.
