We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed.

The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
