Knowing that you do not know is the best. Not knowing that you do not know is an illness.
Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.
My teachings are easy to understand and easy to put into practice. Yet your intellect will never grasp them, and if you try to practice them, you'll fail. My teachings are older than the world. How can you grasp their meaning? If you want to know me, look inside your heart.
Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.
The value of actions lies in their timing.
Make the small big and the few many.
