Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
The brittle is easy to shatter.
The world is a sacred vessel that cannot be changed. He who changes it will destroy it. He who seizes it will lose it.
Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
My words have an origin. My deeds have a sovereign. Truly, because people do not understand this, they do not understand me.
