Take care with the end as you do with the beginning

The Way of Heaven does not complete, and yet it skillfully achieves victory. It does not speak, and yet it skillfully responds to things. It comes to you without your invitation.

Loving, hating, having expectations: all these are attachments. Attachment prevents the growth of one's true being.

By the accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love and kindness he may rule the world forever.

To have enough of enough is always enough.

Nature does not have to insist.

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.
