“If you search everywhere, yet cannot find what you are seeking, it is because what you seek is already in your possession.”

“Those who possessed in highest degree the attributes (of the Tao) did not (seek) to show them, and therefore they possessed them (in fullest measure).”

“At the center of your beingyou have the answer;you know who you areand you know what you want.”

“Not seeking, not expecting, she is present, and can welcome all things.”

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

“Therefore the sage seeks to satisfy (the craving of) the belly, and not the (insatiable longing of the) eyes.”

“If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never truly be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.”
