“Trying to understand is like straining through muddy water. Have the patience to wait! Be still and allow the mud to settle.”

Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.

To see things in the seed, that is genius.

He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.

Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?

All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power.

To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.

Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.

When goodness is lost there is morality.

As soon as you have made a thought, laugh at it.

What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

When pure sincerity forms within, it is outwardly realized in other people’s hearts.

New Beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

One accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.

Some lose yet gain, others gain and yet lose.

If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.
