The Wise Man is square but not sharp, honest but not not malign, straight but not severe, bright but not dazzling.

Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.

From wonder into wonder existence opens.

Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.

What Heaven detests, who knows why? Even the sage considers it difficult.

Throw away holiness and wisdom, and people will be a hundred times happier. Throw away morality and justice, and people will do the right thing. Throw away industry and profit, and there won't be any thieves. If these three aren't enough, just stay at the center of the circle and let all things take their course.
