"To have little is to possess...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The wise man knows he doesn't know.”

“Be humble and you will remain entire. The sages do not display themselves, therefore they shine. They do not approve themselves, therefore they are noted. They do not praise themselves, therefore they have merit. They do not glory in themselves, therefore they excel.”

“The best of all rulers is but a shadowy presence to his subjects.”

“Let thine occupations be few, saith the sage, if thou wouldst lead a tranquil life.”

“When you get a thing the way you want it, leave it alone.”

“I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.”

“That dog is mine said those poor children; that place in the sun is mine; such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth.[Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants; c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]”

“A butterfly flitting from flower to flower ever remains mine, I lose the one that is netted by me.”

“Mine is better than ours.”
