"Clay is moulded to make a vessel,..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Whoever is capable of knowing when they have had enough will always be satisfied.”

“He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful.”

“Hold on to the center and make up your mind to rejoice in this paradise called life.”

“Knowledge is the antidote to fear,-Knowledge, Use and Reason, with its higher aids.”

“Thirty spokes meet in the hub. Where a wheel isn't is where it's useful. Hollowed out, clay makes a pot. Where the pots not is where it's useful. Cut doors and windows to make a room. Where the room isn't, there's room for you. So the profit in what is, is in the use of what isn't.”

“A man's ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful-while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly.”

“The softest of stuff in the world, penetrates quickly the hardest, insubstantial, it enters where there is no room.”

“Thirty spokes meet in the hub,but the empty space between themis the essence of the wheel.Pots are formed from clay,but the empty space within itis the essence of the pot.Walls with windows and doorsform the house,but the empty space within itis the essence of the home.”

“Again, a smooth answer, signifying nothing.”
