~If the spirit is overused it gets exhausted, while if the body is overworked it wears out. When the body and spirit separate, then you die. ~ Sima Tan
~What increases our possessions diminishes our spirit. What gives birth to our fame deals death to our bodies. Yan Cun
~Stillness and silence are the house to safeguard virtue; purity and calm are the garden where the spirit may roam. ~Yang Xiong
~Spirit is the font of intelligence; when spirit is pure, intelligence is clear. Intelligence is the capital of mind; when intelligence is impartial, the mind is even. ~Wen-tzu
~Higher learning is heard by spirit, middle learning is heard by mind, lower learning is heard by ear. ~Wen-tzu
~Human nature wants peace, but indulgence in desire spoils this. ~Wen-tzu
