You must love the Lord your God with all your heart.
With all your soul and with all your mind.
This the end of all wisdom and the start.
And to your neighbour as yourself be kind.

The man in his carriage is no more.
Than the tip of a hair on the flank of horses.
Why do disputing scholars and politicians get sore.
Why, then, all this fuss about great men and offices.

There are no fixed limits
Time does not stand still.
Nothing endures, hours are mere minutes.
Nothing is final , save goodwill.

Only love will last .
The only thing that need not fast.

……

The sea , never filled
It gives back all its waters
It’s never emptied

……

See Matthew 22 : 22-40 and Chuang Tzu, Autumn Floods ( Between 3rd and 4th century BC)
