“Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.”

“Fill your bowl to the brimand it will spill.Keep sharpening your knifeand it will blunt.Chase after money and securityand your heart will never unclench.Care about people's approvaland you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back.The only path to serenity.”

“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.”

“Do not fear the thorns in your path, for they draw only corrupt blood.”

“Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you are two steps ahead.”

“Although the road is never endingtake a step and keep walking,do not look fearfully into the distance...On this path let the heart be your guidefor the body is hesitant and full of fear.”
