The follower of Tao is always flexible and adaptable to circumstance.

You may be capable of great things, But life consists of small things.

Muddy water will become clear if allowed to stand undisturbed, and so too will the mind become clear if it is allowed to be still.

By being receptive, we can avail ourselves of the spiritual wealth available to us. By being open, we can receive things beyond what we ourselves might imagine.

Cooperation with others. Perception, experience, tenacity. Know when to lead and when to follow.

All teachings are mere references. The true experience is living your own life. Then, even the holiest of words are only words.

Only when peace lives within each of us, will it live outside of us. We must be the wombs for a new harmony. When it is small, peace is fragile. Like a baby, it needs nurturing attention. We must protect peace from violence and perversion if it is to grow. We must be strong to do this. But force, even in the name of honor, is always tragic. Instead, we must use the strength of wisdom and conscience. Only that power can nurture peace in this difficult time.
