Kindle Notes & Highlights
The earth and the stars do not take sides— they are impartial.
They regard all individuals as insignificant, as though they were playthings made of straw. The wise are also impartial; to them all people are equal and alike.
Everything that lives has a physical body, but the value of a life is measured by the soul.
The wise attend to the inner truth of things and are not fooled by outward appearances. They ignore matter and seek the spirit.
“I dare not invite conflict as a host, but always act as a guest. I hesitate to advance an inch, and am quick to withdraw a foot.”
The wise recognize the limits of their knowledge; the foolish think they know everything.
