"Be still like a mountain and flow..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Those who advice the ruler on the Way, do not want the world subdued with weapons.”

“For all things difficult to acquire, the intelligent man works with perseverance.”

“If one desires to receive one must first give. This is called profound understanding.”

“When the moon shines very brilliantly, a solitude and stillness seem to proceed from her that influence even crowded places full of life.”

“I will be fond of keeping still, and the people will of themselves become correct.”

“Activity conquers coldness. Stillness conquers heat.”

“Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed... Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the parched becomes moist... It is in changing that things find repose.”

“Motivation is when you get hold of an idea and carry it through to its conclusion, inspiration is the reverse. An idea gets hold of you and carries you where you are intended to go.”

“A good martial artist does not become tense, but ready. Not thinking, yet not dreaming. Ready for whatever may come. When the opponent expands, I contract; and when he contracts, I expand. And when there is an opportunity, "I" do not hit, "it" hits all by itself.”
