Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Those who know don't tell and those who tell don't know.

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

Do not seek the truth. Only cease to cherish opinions.

Sit quietly doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.
