The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.

Your task is to stand straight; not to be held straight.

Choose not to be harmed and you won't feel harmed. Don't feel harmed and you haven't been.

I'm going to be meeting with people today who talk too much - people who are selfish, egotistical, ungrateful. But I won't be surprised or disturbed, for I can't imagine a world without such people.

We are the other of the other

Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with him whose mouth smells foul?
