There may be difficulty at the moment, but I will not lose the Virtue that I possess. It is when the ice and snow are on them that we see the strength of the cypress and the pine. I am grateful for this trouble around me, because it gives me an opportunity to realize how fortunate I am.

It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.

When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.

I am going to try speaking some reckless words, and I want you to try to listen recklessly.

The Tao has no place for pettiness, and nor has Virtue. Pettiness is dangerous to Virtue; pettiness is dangerous to the Tao. It is said, rectify yourself and be done.

To have a human form is a joyful thing.
