"When the palace is magnificent, the fields..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease.”

“Through return to simple living comes control of desires. In control of desires stillness is attained. In stillness the world is restored.”

“Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.”

“Power has to be insecure to be responsive.”

“A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, 'Huh. It works. It makes sense.'”

“[This upset] means that means Donald Trump now has to transition to governance.”

“How come the Chinese can go where I can't go in America? Englishmen can come and set up a business in white America and do things I can't do.The Puerto Rican, Hawaiians, just about everybody can do more than black people and are more respected.”

“The size of your paycheck shouldn’t determine your child’s future.”

“Poverty assumes so many aspects here in India. There aren't only the poor that you see in the cities, there are the poor among the tribes, the poor who live in the forest, the poor who live on the mountains. Should we ignore them as long as the poor in the cities are better off? And better off with reference to what? To what people wanted ten years ago? Then it seemed like so much. Today it's no longer so much.”
