"Simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures.Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies,you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself,you reconcile all beings in the world."
"The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth."
"Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness. All can know good as good only because there is evil."
"He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know."
"Simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures.Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies,you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself,you reconcile all beings in the world."
"If you try to change it, you will ruin it. Try to hold it, and you will lose it."
