Fail to honor people, they fail to honor you.

Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.

No weapon is sharper than will.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step and if that step is the right step, it becomes the last step.

If people live in constant fear of death, and if breaking the law is punished by death, then who would dare?

When many people are killed, they should be mourned and lamented. Those who are victorious in war should follow the rites of funerals.

Weapons are ominous tools. They are abhorred by all creatures. Anyone who follows the Way shuns them.
