A sage is skilled at helping people without excluding anyone.

Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.

Those who are right do not argue. Those who argue are not right.

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.

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

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

I'd rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what's happening at the moment.

If it's time to let go, JUST LET GO. You can't carry on through life with extra weight on your conscience.

Angelina Jolie seems like she cries a lot, which puts me off.

The ox suffers, the cart complains.
