Because of a great love, one is courageous.
Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.
From caring comes courage.
Born to be wild – live to outgrow it.
A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.
Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful. Good words are not persuasive; persuasive words are not good.
Be the chief but never the lord.
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
From wonder into wonder existence opens.
He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
He who is contented is rich.
_Lao Tzu on riches
He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
He who talks more is sooner exhausted.
He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much.
He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.
He who knows himself is enlightened.
~Lao Tzu on self enlightenment
