The wise leader settles for good work and then lets others have the floor.

Weapons are not proper instruments for gentle people; they use them only when they have no other choice. Peace and quiet are what they value. They do not glory in victory.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.

The sage does not act and therefore does not fail, does not seize and therefore does not lose.

Cautious, like crossing a river in the winter.

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.
