"When equal armies battle, the grieving one..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The wise man looks back into the past, and does not grieve over what is far off, nor rejoice over what is near; for he knows that time is without end.”

“Great acts are made up of small deeds.”

“The wise does not think that only he is right -thus he knows the truth.”

“Sound trumpets! Let our bloody colours wave! And either victory, or else a grave.”

“People sold everything - their cars, their land for miles, to come in and see me beat. I went to the bank laughing every time.”

“The first and the best victory is to conquer self.”

“Choice implies consciousness - a high degree of consciousness. Without it, you have no choice. Choice begins the moment you disidentify from the mind and its conditioned patterns, the moment you become present....Nobody chooses dysfunction, conflict, pain. Nobody chooses insanity. They happen because there is not enough presence in you to dissolve the past, not enough light to dispel the darkness. You are not fully here. You have not quite woken up yet. In the meantime, the conditioned mind is running your life.”

“Every quarrel begins in nothing and ends in a struggle for supremacy.”

“There are so many groups making so much money in the medical care system that any major reorganization is going to make someone unhappy or anxious at the least, ... I don't know how you do it.”
