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

"The reason why the universe is eternal is that it does not live for itself; it gives life to others as it transforms."

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

"There isa time to liveand a time to diebut never to reject the moment."

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

"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."
