An Empty Room Grows Bright; Good Fortune Rests in Stillness

A Dog Is Not Good for Barking Well, Nor a Person Worthy for Speaking Well

Know What Cannot Be Helped and Accept It as One’s Lot

Still Water Reflects Clearly Enough to Serve as a Measure

Each Side Has Its Own Rights and Wrongs

Life Is Limited, While Knowledge Has No Limit

What Begins Simply May End Immense

Things Have Their Reasons and Their Acceptability

Praised by All, Unmoved; Condemned by All, Undaunted

Without Genuineness and Sincerity, One Cannot Move Others
