The sage is not ill, because he sees illness as illness.

The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from harm until the end of your days.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering oneself makes you fearless.

When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, and dignified as a king. Immersed in wonder, you can deal with whatever life brings you, and when death comes, you are ready.

Be humble and you will remain entire. The sages do not display themselves, therefore they shine. They do not approve themselves, therefore they are noted. They do not praise themselves, therefore they have merit. They do not glory in themselves, therefore they excel.

The truest sayings are paradoxical.

Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.
