Nature doesn’t make long speeches,
Only simple and quiet words ripen by themselves.
A hurricane doesn’t last all morning,
A sudden cloudburst doesn’t last all day.
If even the greatest forces of nature
Can’t go on and on,
How much less so do people need to?
So whatever you do,
Be one with the Way.
When you succeed,
Be one with success.
When you fail,
Be one with failure.
To be appreciated, appreciate.
“When you succeed, be one with success. When you fail, be one with failure.

When his work is done,
In his life there is no room
For sorrow or rejoicing.”

Through the world we safely go.”
