"First there must be order and harmony..." - Quote by Confucius

“He who needs only coarse food, water and drink, and as pillow his folded arms will find happiness without further search.”

“Reviewing what you have learned and learning anew, you are fit to be a teacher.”

“The failure to cultivate virtue, the failure to examine and analyze what I have learned, the inability to move toward righteousness after being shown the way, the inability to correct my faults-these are the causes of my grief.”

“The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.”

“Truth comes when your mind and heart are purged of all sense of striving and you are no longer trying to become somebody; it is there when the mind is very quiet, listening timelessly to everything.”

“Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else.”

“The mind is like a fertile garden in which anything that is planted, flowers or weeds, will grow.”

“It is discouraging to try to penetrate a mind like yours. You ought to get it out and dance on it. That would take some of the rigidity out of it.”

“It is the calm, forgiving, equable, well-balanced mind that does the greatest amount of work.”
