"Let muddy water stand and it will..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“There is no illusion great than fear.”

“Trying to understand is like straining through muddy water. Be still and allow the mud to settle.”

“To know how little one knows is to have genuine knowledge. Not to know how little one knows is to be deluded. Only those who know when they are deluded can free themselves from such delusion. The intelligent people are not deluded, because they know and accept their ignorance as ignorance, and thereby have genuine knowledge.”

“A satyagrahi exhausts all other means before he resorts to satyagraha.”

“Do not lose heart, even if you must wait a bit before finding the right thing. Be prepared for disappointment also, but do not abandon the quest.”

“We must patiently practice every day.”

“If a word means everything, then in means nothing.”

“Sometimes we are clarified and calmed healthily, as we never were before in our lives, not by an opiate, but by some unconscious obedience to the all-just laws, so that we become like a still lake of purest crystal and without an effort our depths are revealed to ourselves. . . .”

“Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short.”
