"A tree trunk the size of a..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“A good speaker does not stutter.”

“Great, it passes on (in constant flow).”

“The sage never strives for the great, and thereby the great is achieved.”

“Consistency is the bugbear that frightens little minds.”

“Without defeats, how do you really know who the hell you are? If you never had to stand up to something - to get up, to be knocked down, and to get up again - life can walk over you wearing football cleats. But each time you do get up, you're bigger, taller, finer, more beautiful, more kind, more understanding, more loving. Each time you get up, you're more inclusive. More people can stand under your umbrella.”

“Culture in its higher forms is a delicate plant which depends on a complicated set of conditions and is wont to flourish only in a few places at any given time.”

“The world's big things only can be done by paying attention to their humble beginnings.”

“The beginning is the most important part, especially when dealing with anything young and tender.”

“All beginnings are delightful; the threshold is the place to pause.”
