The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.

He who acts, spoils; he who grasps, lets slip.

If you wish to be out front, then act as if you were behind.

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

If you want to lead them you must place yourself behind them.

Give evil nothing to oppose and it will disappear by itself.

He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.

Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.

If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and you will lose it.

When there is no desire, all things are at peace.

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.

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.

To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.

Stop thinking, and end your problems.

The further one goes, the less one knows.

When goodness is lost there is morality.

Take care with the end as you do with the beginning.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Love is of all the passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses.
