You've come to know the fortunate and the inauspicious stars, but you don't know whether you yourself are fortunate or lucky.

Dance where you can break yourself up to pieces and totally abandon your worldly passions.

Don't insist on going where you think you want to go. Ask the way to the spring.

Treasures and armies do not make a king. A true king is a king within himself.

A wealth you cannot imagine flows through you. Do not consider what strangers say. Be secluded in your secret heart-house, that bowl of silence.

At the end of my life, with just one breath left, if you come, I’ll sit up and sing.

God's purpose for man is to acquire a seeing eye and an understanding heart.
