"Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Do not conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance. Thorns spring up when an army passes. Years of misery follow a great victory. Do only what needs to be done without using violence.”

“He (the sage) wants all things to follow their own nature, but dares not act.”

“A good mooring needs no knot, still no one can untie it.”

“All men would be masters of others, and no man is lord of himself.”

“How to get rid of ego as dictator and turn it into messenger and servant and scout, to be in your service, is the trick.”

“Attend well to your character, and your reputation will look out for itself.”

“Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victor's] laurel yield to the [orator's] tongue.”

“Success is voltage under control-keeping one hand on the transformer of your Kosmic Kilowatts.”

“Praise is the daughter of present power.”
