Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.
Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.
The best fighter is never angry.
A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
