"When wisdom and knowledge appear, great pretense..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Strong winds do not last all morning, hard rains do not last all day.”

“Fine words are traded. Noble deeds gain respect. But people who are not good, why abandon them?”

“Taking things lightly must lead to big difficulties.”

“Never hesitate to ask a lesser person.”

“Wisdom is not found with those who dwell at their ease; rather nature, when she adds brain, adds difficulty.”

“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.”

“The intelligent have a right over the ignorant; namely, the right of instructing them.”

“Man is fed with fables through life, and leaves it in the belief he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he knows nothing but what has passed under his own eyes.”

“There are two processes which we adopt consciously or unconsciously when we try to prophesy. We can seek a period in the past whose conditions resemble as closely as possible those of our day, and presume that the sequel to that period will, save for some minor alterations, be similar. Secondly, we can survey the general course of development in our immediate past, and endeavor to prolong it into the near future. The first is the method the historian; the second that of the scientist. Only the second is open to us now, and this only in a partial sphere.”
