Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity. - Lao Tzu

"He who defends with love will be secure; Heaven will save him, and protect him with love."

"We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness insidethat holds whatever we want.We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner spacethat makes it livable.We work with being, but non-being is what we use."

"If lightning is the anger of the gods, then the gods are concerned mostly about trees."

"The past has no power to stop youfrom being present now.Only your grievance aboutthe past can do that.What is grievance?The baggage of oldthought and emotion."

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders."
