I have no name for what circles so perfectly.

If you don't try to fly and so break yourself apart, you will be broken open by death, when it's too late for all you could become.

When you're traveling, ask the traveler for advice / not someone whose lameness keeps him in one place.

Why should I stay at the bottom of a well, when a strong rope is in my hand?

The fluteplayer puts breath into a flute, and who makes the music? Not the flute. The Fluteplayer!

Just as the heart becomes carefree in a place of green, growing plants, goodwill and kindness are born when our souls enter happiness.

Weep like the waterwheel, that green herbs may spring up from the courtyard of your soul. If you wish for tears, have mercy on one who sheds tears; if you wish mercy, show mercy to the weak.
