"If there is to be peace in..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small.”

“If you worry more for others' beliefs, then you will be their slave.”

“If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”

“In my opinion there is no other salvation for civilization and even for the human race than the creation of a world government with security on the basis of law. As long as there are sovereign states with their separate armaments and armament secrets, new world wars cannot be avoided.”

“If the prince of a State love benevolence, he will have no opponent in all the empire.”

“The message of reconciliation, of nation-building, of granting amnesty, indemnity, has struck a powerful, favorable chord. And people can understand that we're here not for purposes of retribution but to forget the past and to build our country.”

“if everyone could just be happy with themselves and the choices people around them make, the world would instantly be a better place!”

“It is not always needful for truth to take a definite shape; it is enough if it hovers about us like a spirit and produces harmony; if it is wafted through the air like the sound of a bell, grave and kindly.”

“When you have been compelled by circumstances to be disturbed in any manner, quickly return to yourself, and do not continue out of tune longer than the compulsion lasts. You will have increasing control over your own harmony by continually returning to it.”
