The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.

He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature

He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.

Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for too much knowledge is a curse.

Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy Is to forget the right way And forget that the going is easy.
