"The Way to do is to be...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“One's own self or material goods, which has more worth?Loss (of self) or possession (of goods), which is the greater evil?He who loves most, spends most,He who hoards much loses much”

“The rigid tree will be felled.”

“Purity and stillness give the correct law to all under heaven.”

“Thought subsides when you pet your dog or you have a purring cat on your chest. Even just watching an animal can take you out of your mind. It is more deeply connected with the source of life than most humans, and that rootedness in Being transmits itself to you. Millions of people who otherwise would be completely lost in the conceptual reality of their mind are kept sane by living with an animal.”

“The art of life, of a poet's life, is, not having anything to do, to do something.”

“Wherever You Are, Be ThereOne of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.”

“[S]uppose the mind of [a] friend of humanity were clouded over with his own grief, extinguishing all sympathetic participation in the fate of others; he still has the resources to be beneficent to those suffering distress, but the distress of others does not touch him because he is sufficiently busy with his own; and now, where no inclination any longer stimulates him to it, he tears himself out of his deadly insensibility and does the action without any inclination, solely from duty.”

“A big shot is a little shot who keeps on shootin'”

“Information without execution is poverty.”
