Do not look upon this world with fear and loathing. Bravely face whatever the gods offer.

As soon as you concern yourself with the "good" and "bad" of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weakens and defeats you.

THE TECHNIQUES OF the Art of Peace are neither fast nor slow, nor are they inside or outside.. They transcend time and space.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

Seeing me before him, / The adversary attacks, / But by that time / I am already standing / Safely behind him.

True victory is self-victory; let that day arrive quickly!

When an opponent comes forward, move in and greet him; if he wants to pull back, send him on his way.
