“When there is no more separation between ‘this’ and ‘that,’ it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.”

A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.

Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.

Men do not mirror themselves in running water – they mirror themselves in still water. Only what is still can still the stillness of other things.

The men of old breathed clear down to their heels.

The sage embraces things. Ordinary men discriminate amongst them and parade their discriminations before others. So I say; those who discriminate, fail to see.

He who regards all things as one is a companion of Nature.

Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone.

Running around accusing others is not as good as laughing. And enjoying a good laugh is not as good as going along with things.

The creature born is the creature dying.

INNATE is God in human beings. INNATE is good in human beings. INNATE cannot be cheated, violated, or tricked. INNATE is always waiting, ready to communicate with you, and when INNATE is in contact you are in tune with the Infinite.

Everything is blind chance, happenstance, occurrence; in an infinite universe anything can happen. After the fact we find reasons.

We all have to die a bit every now and then and usually it’s so gradual that we end up more alive than ever. Infinitely old and infinitely alive.

In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).

The infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.

We are a little piece of continual change, looking at an infinite quantity of continual change.

The marvel of marvels is not that God, in His infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that He has elected any.

Innocent and infinite are the pleasures of observation.
