"Do that which consists in taking no action; Pursue that which is not meddlesome; Savor that which has no flavor."

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."

"The greatest good is like water. Water benefits all things and does not contend."

"The greatest flaw is to desire more."

"The difficult is done easily; the easy is done with difficulty."
