"Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”

“Just as the value of a house lies in its location, The value of a mind lies in its depth, The value of giving lies in the presence of a generous spirit, The value of words lies in their reliability.”

“Of the best rulers, The people only know that they exist; the next best they love and praise the next they fear; and the next they revile. When they do not command the people's faith, some will lose faith in them, and then they resort to oaths! But of the best when their task is accomplished, their work done, the people all remark, We have done it ourselves.”

“One wastes so much time, one is so prodigal of life, at twenty! Our days of winter count for double. That is the compensation of the old.”

“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.”

“Whatever authority I may have rests solely on knowing how little I know.”

“Although you may not always be able to avoid difficult situations,you can modify the extent to which you can suffer by how you choose to respond to the situation.”

“To respond is positive, to react is negative.”

“Someone else's action should not determine your response.”
