"Don't impose your will through manipulation of..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“How do I become still?By flowing with the stream.”

“Only by working within the laws that govern the flow of water will happiness be achieved.”

“The heavy is the root of the light. The unmoved is the source of all movement. Thus the Master travels all day without leaving home. However splendid the views, she stays serenely in herself. Why should the lord of the country flit about like a fool? If you let yourself be blown to and fro, you lose touch with your root. If you let restlessness move you, you lose touch with who you are.”

“The statesman who yields to war fever must realise that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.”

“When we attempt to exercise power or control over someone else, we cannot avoid giving that person the very same power or control over us.”

“If you pass the ball to Bill Cartwright, you'll never get the ball from me.”

“Keep people from their history, and they are easily controlled.”

“There is no quality so contrary to any nature which one cannot affect, and put on upon occasion, in order to serve an interest.”

“A people without a heritage are easily persuaded.”
