“If you want to shrink something, you must first allow it to expand. If you want to get rid of something, you must first allow it to flourish. If you want to take something, you must first allow it to be given. This is called the subtler perception of the way things are. The soft overcomes the hard. The slow overcomes the fast. Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.”
“If you teach a man anything, he will never learn.”

“When death comes, it's just like winter. We don't say, "There ought not to be winter."

No winter, no summer. No cold, no heat.”
“Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'”
“One must love everything.”
