***************
Treat the wicked with
patience and compassion—but
help them to perish
***************
Existence is a
small fish in the water of
faithful nonbeing
***************
The Way of Heaven
is a music unheard by
the conquering gods
***************
The attainment of
nothing creates contentment;
nothing is wisdom
***************
The good traveler
moves in the shadow of the
paradoxical
***************
The greatest joy is
the courage to know that there
is no greatest joy
***************
When I let go of
what I am, my fingers touch
the source of my self
***************
A leader is a
goose. A scholar is an ox.
A sage is an ant.
***************
Death is a series
of small desires—it is the
flower of nature
