“From one thing, know ten thousand things.”

In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.

Be detached from desire your whole life long.

It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.

Accept everything just the way it is.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.

Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
