 In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. |
| He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. |
| Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. |
| Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. |
| At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. |
| To see things in the seed, that is genius. |
| Be the chief but never the lord. |
| Ambition has one heel nailed in well, though she stretch her fingers to touch the heavens. |
| When a nation is filled with strife, then do patriots flourish. |
| The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete. |
