Daily quote |
Lao Tzu (Laozi)He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know. He who obtains has little. He who scatters has much. He who talks more is sooner exhausted. Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. How could man rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men? I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any. I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve. If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence. |
