Defend yourself if attacked, but using unnecessary or too much force only leads to misery.  Achieve success without arrogance, without hurting others.  Aggression leaches our strength and humanity, always inviting disaster. Believe in yourself, don’t try to convince others. Be content, you don’t need others approval, just accept yourself and everybody will accept you.

Words can never convey the beauty of nature.  To understand it you must see it for yourself.  My words are just a prescription not a destination; just a map to help you reach it. When you get there, quiet your mind and close your mouth.

If you remain conscious of the difficulties to be overcome and keep free of arrogance and restfulness, thus, in principle, will overcome all cause for blame.  People are won over by sincerity and truth, they will in turn help you with your undertakings.  If you walk in truth and are devoted in your thinking you will have good fortune.

Quote: As you transform yourself, you transform the world.
