I like a passage from "The Way of Heaven": "If my abilities can only allow me to be poor and destitute, then poverty and destitution are my worth. What I want to do and what I can do are two different things; this must be determined by circumstances. As long as I don't realize the way myself, you can't give it to me, and even if you give it to me, I can't hold onto it. Only when I realize the way myself can I possibly achieve it; what I can achieve is mine." The harshest slap in the world is reaching on tiptoe for the moon in the sky, only to shatter the bowl in my hand. How many people have become gamblers, betting their entire fortunes to chase mirages, only to lose the three pounds of millet drying at their doorstep? The courage you think you have is actually greed dressed in a hero's robe; the peak you envy may be a cliff that others have reached when they have no way out.


One must learn to plant flowers in the mud, rather than walking on stilts to pick clouds.
