Only a few things in life matter a little. The rest don’t matter at all.

Relax. Just be. And be just.

Nothing on earth really matters, there is nothing to fear, and death is but a question of style, a mere literary device, a musical resolution.

Nothing in life is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it

Some things are too important to be taken seriously.

What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important.

You are here for but an instant, and you mustn't take yourself too seriously

Choose the least important day in your life. It will be important enough.

Relaxing with the present moment, relaxing with hopelessness, relaxing with death, not resisting the fact that things end, that things pass, that things have no lasting substance, that everything is changing all the time — that is the basic message.

Caring about what you are doing is considered either unimportant or taken for granted.

The less you have, the less you have to worry about.

Matters of great concern should be treated lightly.” Master Ittei commented, “Matters of small concern should be treated seriously.

When everything is important, nothing is important.

Don't take life so serious. It ain't nohow permanent.
