“If you do not value rare treasures, you will stop others from stealing.”

“Possessing rare treasures brings about harmful behavior.”

“Must you value what others value,avoid what others avoid?How ridiculous!”

“Stop thinking, and end your problems.What difference between yes and no?What difference between success and failure?Must you value what others value,avoid what others avoid?How ridiculous!Other people are excited,as though they were at a parade.I alone don't care,I alone am expressionless,like an infant before it can smile.Other people have what they need;I alone possess nothing.I alone drift about,like someone without a home.I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.Other people are bright;I alone am dark.Other people are sharp;I alone am dull.Other people have purpose;I alone don't know.I drift like a wave on the ocean,I blow as aimless as the wind.I am different from ordinary people.I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.”

“Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.”

“Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves;”

“Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.”
