"If people are not afraid of dying,..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“For knowledge, add something every day. For wisdom....subtract.”

“To joy in conquest is to joy in the loss of human life.”

“If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.”

“Rumour doth double, like the voice and echo, The numbers of the feared.”

“One can say this in general of men: they are ungrateful, disloyal, insincere and deceitful, timid of danger and avid of profit...Love is a bond of obligation that these miserable creatures break whenever it suits them to do so; but fear holds them fast by a dread of punishment that never passes.”

“But could not our situation be compared to one of a menacing epidemic? People are unable to view this situation in its true light, for their eyes are blinded by passion. General fear and anxiety create hatred and aggressiveness. The adaptation to warlike aims and activities has corrupted the mentality of man; as a result, intelligent, objective and humane thinking has hardly any effect and is even suspected and persecuted as unpatriotic.”

“He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.”

“What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.”

“If you correct your mind the rest of your life will fall into place.”
