Those who understand others are clever, those who understand themselves are wise.
The sage knows himself, but does not parade. He cherishes himself, but does not praise himself.
What should be shrunken must first be stretched.
The world is a sacred vessel. It should not be meddled with. It should not be owned. If you try to meddle with it you will ruin it. If you try to own it you will lose it
As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.
Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in.
