“To a mind that is still, the entire universe surrenders.”

“Let your heart be at peace.Watch the turmoil of beingsbut contemplate their return.If you don't realize the source,you stumble in confusion and sorrow.When you realize where you come from,you naturally become tolerant,disinterested, amused,kindhearted as a grandmother,dignified as a king.Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,you can deal with whatever life brings you,And when death comes, you are ready.”

“To be truly ignorant, be content with your own knowledge.”

“There is the globe,The foundation of my bodily existence.It wears me out with work and duties,It gives me rest in old age,It gives me peace in death.For the on who supplied me with what I needed in lifeWill also give me what I need in death.”

“A path is made by walking on it.”

“Cherish that which is in you and shut out that which is without, for much knowledge is a curse.”

“Great truths do not take hold of the hearts of the masses. And now, as the world is in error, how shall I, though I know the true path, how shall I guide? If I know that I cannot succeed and yet try to force success, this world would be but another source of error. Better then to desist and strive no more. But if I do not strive, who will?”
