"Stop thinking, and end your problems."

"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner."

"My words are simple to follow and easy to understand. Yet no one can put them into practice or understand them."

"Those who have knowledge, don't predict. Those who predict, don't have knowledge."

"Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment."

"Nature is not human hearted."

"Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power."

"He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know."
