Men of this world all rejoice in others being like themselves, and object to others not being like themselves.

The men of old breathed clear down to their heels.

Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy.

Perfect happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.

The fact is that those who do not see themselves but who see others, who fail to grasp of themselves but who grasp others, take possession of what others have but fail to possess themselves. they are attracted to what others enjoy but fail to find enjoyment in themselves.

There are no greater adversaries than yin and yang, because nothing in Heaven or on Earth escapes them. But it is not yin and yang that do this, it is your heart that makes it so.

Your preciousness lies in your essence; it cannot be lost by anything that happens.
