  • "The road to enlightenment is like the journey down the mountain.  It comes only to those who realize that what one sees at the top of  the mountain is not what one sees at the bottom. Without this wisdom,  we close our minds to all that we cannot view from our position and so  limit our capacity to grow and improve. But with this wisdom, Lao-li,  there comes an awakening. We recognize that alone one sees only so  much - which, in truth, is not much at all. This is the wisdom that  opens our minds to improvement, knocks down prejudices, and teaches  us to respect what at first we cannot view. Never forget this last  lesson, Lao-li:   what you cannot see can be seen from a different part of the mountain."
  • "See beyond what is seen. Never forget that a wheel is made  not only of spokes but also of the space between the spokes.  Sturdy spokes poorly placed make a weak wheel. Whether their  full potential is realized depends on the harmony between them.  The essence of wheelmaking lies in the craftsman's ability to  conceive and create the space that holds and balances the  spokes within the wheel. Think now, who is the craftsman here?"
