He who speaks does not know. Stop up the openings,
Close down the doors, Rub off the sharp edges.

Give up contention:
This is called finding the unity of life.

Praise and blame cannot ruffle you, You are honored by all the world.
-- Lao-tzu

Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
