"I have the mind of a fool,..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Seal the openings, shut the doors, and until your last day you will not be exhausted. Widen the openings, interfere, and until your last day you will not be safe.”

“When superior people hear of the Way, they carry it out with diligence. When middling people hear of the Way, it sometimes seems to be there, sometimes not. When lesser people hear of the Way, they ridicule it greatly. If they didn't laugh at it, it wouldn't be the Way.”

“Be who you are, and go the whole way.”

“The cleverest of all, in my opinion, is the man who calls himself a fool at least once a month.”

“If anyone would like to acquire humility, the first step is to realize one is proud. Nothing can be done before it.”

“[The Master] doesn't glitter like a jewel... [but is] as rugged and common as a stone.”

“Allow me to assure you, that suspicion and jealousy never did help any man in any situation.”

“Without goodness a man cannot endure adversity for long, nor can he enjoy prosperity for long. The good man is naturally at ease with goodness. The wise man cultivates goodness for its advantage.”

“He who is not a bird should not build his nest over abysses.”
