Cherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without.
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.
Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
Great wisdom is generous petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech cantankerous.
He who knows he is a fool is not the biggest fool He who knows he is confused is not in the worst confusion.
He who pursues fame at the risk of losing his self is not a scholar.
I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
Once you've gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.
