#protection

As you take care not to step upon a nail, or turn your foot; so likewise take care not to hurt the ruling faculty of your mind.

Flee, my friend, into your solitude! I see you stung by poisonous flies. Flee where a rough, strong breeze blows!

Every profound spirit needs a mask: even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.

The antidote for fifty enemies is one true friend.

Walk fearlessly, knowing that divine light protects your steps.

Inner peace is the shield that deflects every hostile arrow.

Live with honor, govern with justice, and protect the weak.

Between the sky and the earth, the millstones of time grind incessantly; rare is the grain that clings to the central pivot and survives unbroken.

The gnarled oak tree that no carpenter wants to cut down lives out its natural years in peace.

The bird does not build its nest on the highest branch to show off, but to protect its young; let your actions arise from genuine need, not vanity.

No evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.

Don't grieve for what doesn't come. Some things that don't happen keep disasters from happening.
