The following are the classic quotations I excerpted to calm the mind:

1. The best is like water. Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is close to the Tao. Live in a good place, have a good heart and benevolent, speak good faith, govern well, be able to do good things, and act at good times. The husband does not fight, so there is no need for you.

2. If you are calm inside, there will be no turmoil outside.

3. The journey of a husband and gentleman is to cultivate one’s character through tranquility, and to cultivate virtue through thrift. If it is not indifferent, it will not clear its aspirations, and if it is not peaceful, it will not be far-reaching.

4. We must first gain inner peace before we can bring peace into the world.

5. Talent is created in silence, while character is formed in the turbulent waves of the world.

6. Empty the haze in your heart. Only when your heart is pure can your mind be calm, and only when your mind is calm can you feel comfortable.

7. How blessed are the simple people, because they enjoy great tranquility.

8. Be simpler and more aggressive, and you will naturally have fewer worries.

9. Everyone goes crazy to avoid the summer heat, but only the Zen master does not leave his room. If it is not a Zen room, it will not be hot, and it will cool down when the body is still.

10. The more peaceful the heart is, the deeper the happiness will be; the human heart is inherently untainted, and the calm mind will naturally be pure.
