To a mind that is still the whole universe surrenders.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?
By letting go it all gets done.
To know that you do not know is the best. To think you know when you do not is a disease. Recognizing this disease as a disease is to be free of it.
The way to do is to be.
Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.
To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.
The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small.
A good traveler leaves no tracks. Good speech lacks fault-finding.
Every step is on the path.
Just remain in the center; watching. And then forget that you are there.
To be worn out is to be renewed.
Colors blind the eye Sounds deafen the ear. Flavors numb the taste. Thoughts weaken the mind. Desires wither the heart.
When goodness is lost there is morality.
To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go: for just letting it go is what makes it stay.
The Master does nothing; yet he leaves nothing undone.
Self is realized through selflessness.
