"My words are very easy to understand and very easy to practice. Yet no-one in the world can understand them; No-one can practice them. My words have their sources, my deeds their precedents. If people do not understand that, they do not understand me. The fewer who know me, the more valuable I am. That is why the Sage wears course clothes while carrying jade in his bosom."

"Szavaimat megérteni édes, megvalósítani, maga az élet. Az ég alattiban mégsem érti senki, a megvalósítást nem tudják követni. Szavaimnak őse a csend, tetteimnek ura a rend. Ezért nem értenek az emberek, ezért nem ismernek engemet. Amit kevesen értenek, gyakran az a legértékesebb. A bölcs nem ruházatán hordja az értéket, szívében a drágakő szabja a mértéket.*"
