"There is no greater offence than harbouring..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Attending fully and becoming supple, Can you be as a newborn babe?”

“Clay is molded to form a cup, But it is on its non-being that the utility of the cup depends. Doors and windows are cut out to make a room, But it is on its non-being that the utility of the room depends. Therefore turn being into advantage, and turn non-being into utility.”

“The Master doesn't seek fulfillment. For only those who are not full are able to be used which brings the feeling of completeness.”

“For what is man without desires, without free will, and without the power of choice but a stop in an organ pipe?”

“The True Person governs by emptying the heart of desire and filling the belly with food, weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.”

“Who knows? If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix & a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing... And being driven slowly and quietly into the kind of terminal craziness that comes with finally understanding that the one thing you want is not there. Missing. Back-ordered. No tengo. Vaya con dios. Grow up! Small is better. Take what you can get.”

“Coarse rice to eat, water to drink, my bended arm for a pillow - therein is happiness. Wealth and rank attained through immoral means are nothing but drifting clouds.”

“I lack nothing. I only needed myself.”

“He who knows he has enough is rich.”
