Daily quote |
Lao Tzu (Laozi)Manifest plainness, embrace simplicity, reduce selfishness, have few desires. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. Music in the soul can be heard by the universe. Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. Nature is not human hearted. Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it. Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions. One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others. One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him. People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure. |
