| Life is the only thing worth living for. |
| Life is like stepping onto a boat that is about to sail out to sea and sink. |
| The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet. |
| In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few. |
| As long as you seek for something, you will get the shadow of reality and not reality itself. |
| You must neither strive for truth nor seek to lose your illusions. |
| The quieter you become, the more you can hear. |
| Zen is not some kind of excitement, but merely concentration on our usual everyday routine. |
| The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass. |
| If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? |
