To receive everything, one must open one's hands and give.

You must concentrate upon and consecrate yourself wholly to each day, as though a fire were raging in your hair.

If you are not happy here and now, you never will be.

You cannot separate any part from the whole: interdependence rules the cosmic order.

Train the body and develop stamina and endurance. But the spirit of competition and power that presides over them is not good, it reflects a distorted vision of life. The root of the martial arts is not there.

Think with the whole body.

We feel our shell keeps us safe, but it crushes us and others, and keeps out light and sun.
