Verily God does not reward man for what he does, but for what he is.
The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
The greatest tragedy that can befall a person is the atrophy of his mind.
Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone
Tao is beyond words and beyond things. It is not expressed either in word or in silence. Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.
Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
