Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.

The sage is sharp but does not cut, pointed but does not pierce, forthright but does not offend, bright but does not dazzle.

Use your light, but dim your brightness.

Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

The Tao is the center of the universe, the good man's treasure, the bad man's refuge. Honors can be bought with fine words, respect can be won with good deeds; but the Tao is beyond all value, and no one can achieve it. Thus, when a new leader is chosen, don't offer to help him with your wealth or your expertise. Offer instead to teach him about the Tao. Why did the ancient Masters esteem the Tao? Because, being one with the Tao, when you seek, you find; and when you make a mistake, you are forgiven. That is why everybody loves it.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
