“Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.”

“I know hereby what advantage belongs to doing nothing (with a purpose).”

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it”

“There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than water, and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong there is nothing that can take precedence of it;—for there is nothing (so effectual) for which it can be changed.”

“When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.”

“If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.”

“There is no disaster greater than not being content; There is no misfortune greater than being covetous.”
