"By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning."

"To yield is to be preserved whole. To be bent is to be straightened. To be empty is to be filled. To be worn out is to be renewed. To have little is to gain. To have plenty is to be perplexed."

"Empty your mind of all thoughts. Let your heart be at peace. Watch the turmoil of the world, but let your serenity remain. Return to the root. This is tranquility. This is returning to your destiny."

"Abandon sageliness and discard wisdom, and the people will benefit a hundredfold."

"Let people return to making knots on ropes, instead of writing."
