"That so few understand me is why..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”

“Do not make them (people) weary at their work. If you do not make them weary, they will not be weary of you.”

“Find a teacher who is an integral being, a beacon who extends his light and virtue with equal ease to those who appreciate him and those who don't. Shape yourself in his mold, bathe in his nourishing radiance, and reflect it out to the rest of the world.”

“There exists a passion for comprehension, just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on. Without this passion there would be neither mathematics nor natural science.”

“The question "What shall we do about it?" is only asked by those who do not understand the problem. If a problem can be solved at all, to understand it and to know what to do about it are the same thing. On the other hand, doing something about a problem which you do not understand is like trying to clear away darkness by thrusting it aside with your hands. When light is brought, the darkness vanishes at once.”

“It is not in how one soul approaches another but in how it withdraws that I knowr its affinity and solidarity with the other.”

“You have to be odd to be number one.”

“Love is created and preserved by intellectual analysis, for we love only that which is unique, and it belongs to contemplation, not to action, for we would not change that which we love.”

“We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow-worm.”
