My own words are not the medicine, but a prescription; not the destination, but a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth. Don't analyze the Tao. Strive instead to live it: silently, undividedly, with your whole harmonious being.
Those who stay where they are will endure.
If you can find true contentment, it will last forever.
Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires.
For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.
In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired. In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
