Endless drama in a group clouds consciousness. Too much noise overwhelms the senses. Continual input obscures genuine insight. Do not substitute sensationalism for learning.

Learn to see things backwards, inside out, and upside down.

If you want to be free, learn to live simply.

The leader teaches more through being than through doing. The quality of one's silence conveys more than long speeches.

Your behaviour influences others through a ripple effect. A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else. Powerful people are powerful influences.

Silence is a great source of strength.

The wise leader speaks rarely and briefly. After all, no other natural outpouring goes on and on. It rains and then it stops. It thunders and then it stops.

Have respect for every person and every issue directed at you. Do not dismiss any encounter as insignificant.

Teach people to let go of their superficial mental chatter and obsessions. Teach people to pay attention to the whole body's reaction to a situation.

This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

My suspicion is that once you have literacy in place, the readership has not changed very much.

The speed of time is 1 hour per hour, no matter what else is going on in the universe.

I need some challenges in love or I'm bored.

What I want is for both of us to feel safe. What you and I have together shouldn't be draining us like this. It should be the one rock-solid thing we both count on.
