Pay attention to episodes in nature that kindle an inner spark of awe and admiration. You don't have to discuss it with another being. If it has meaning to you, it's valid.

There are enough names

Once the whole is divided, the parts need names. 
There are already enough names; know when to stop.
Know when reason sets limits to avoid peril.
from Verse 32 of the Tao in "Change your thoughts change your life" by Wayne Dyer. Page 156.

There are already enough names

Once the whole is divided, the parts need names.

Wisdom is understanding yourself

From 33rd verse of the Tao Te Ching:
One who understands others has knowledge;
One who understands himself has wisdom.
Mastering others requires force;
Mastering the self needs strength.

A Tao-orientated life focuses on understanding yourself, rather than on the thinking and behaviours of others. You shift from the acquisition of information and the pursuit of status symbols to understanding and mastering yourself in any and all situations.

Showing Off

Showing off does not reveal enlighenment.
Boasting will not produce accomplishments.
He who is self-righteous is not respected.
He who brags will not endure.
All these ways of acting are odious, distasteful.

Returning to the Source

You are part of the law of form in time and space, composing and decomposing. Everything in nature is returning to its Source... The question is, do you wish to participate consciously with this natural goodness, or would you rather spend your moments in anxiety and failure?

Forced Action

If heaven and earth cannot sustain a forced action,
how much less is man able to do?

Truth is a truth until you organise it

Lao-tzu might say that  truth is a truth until you organise it, and then it becomes a lie. Why? Because the purposes of the organisation begin to take precidence over that with it first attempted to keep in order.

Give up sainthood

Give up sainthood, renounce wisdom, and it will be a hundred times better for everyone.
Throw away morality and justice and people will do the right thing.
Throw away industry and profit and there will be no thieves.

All of these are outward forms alone;
they are not sufficient in themselves.

It is more important to see the simplicity,
to realise one's true nature,
to cast off selfishness and temper desire.

19th Verse of Tao Te Ching. Wayne Dyer "Change your thoughts change your life" page 88

Take notice

When a book literally falls into your lap or is sent to you by several different people - or even when you keep seeing the title and having it refered to by others over and over - you need to notice, stop your resistance, and surrender.
