"Misfortune is the root of good fortune;..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.”

“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”

“The more weapons of violence, the more misery to mankind. The triumph of violence ends in a festival of mourning.”

“Every need brings what's needed.Pain bears its cure like a child.Having nothing produces provisions.Ask a difficult question,And the marvelous answer appears.”

“Why must one love rarely to love well?”

“There is harmony in the tension of opposites, as in the case of the bow and lyre.”

“Every good quality runs into a defect; economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully; he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious; there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes.”

“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”

“Pools of sorrow. Waves of joy.”
