When leading people and serving Heaven, nothing exceeds moderation.

Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time' is to say 'I don't want to.'

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.

Just as the value of a house lies in its location, The value of a mind lies in its depth, The value of giving lies in the presence of a generous spirit, The value of words lies in their reliability.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.

The Master views the parts with compassion, because he understands the whole. His constant practice is humility. He doesn't glitter like a jewel but lets himself be shaped by the Tao, as rugged and common as a stone.

A foolish man is always doing, Yet much remains to be done.
