"The one who does not stray away..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Shape clay into a vessel;It is the space within that makes it useful.Cut doors and windows for a room;It is the holes which make it useful.Therefore benefit comes from what is there;Usefulness from what is not there.”

“The highest virtue seems as low as a valley.”

“He who knows, knows not. He who knows not, knows.”

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”

“I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.”

“The world may know my words, but it has no such privileges with my heart”

“Barring serious accidents, if you are not preoccupied with worry and you work hard, you can look forward to a reasonably lengthy existence.... Its not the hard work that kills, its the worrying that kills.”

“There are very few of us, who reach my advanced age, who are still working in the business, as writers. As artists, people can hang out longer.”

“A light heart lives long.”
