"The sage does not hoard. The more..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Whoever is capable of knowing when they have had enough will always be satisfied.”

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

“If you correct your mind the rest of your life will fall into place.”

“I like chicken a lot because chicken is generous - that is to say, it's obedient. It will do whatever you tell it to do.”

“A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.”

“When it comes to money, you can't win. If you focus on making it, you're materialistic. If you try to but don't make any, you're a loser. If you make a lot and keep it, you're a miser. If you make it and spend it, you're a spendthrift. If you don't care about making it, you're unambitious. If you make a lot and still have it when you die, you're a fool-for trying to take it with you. The only way to really win with money is to hold it loosely-and be generous with it to accomplish things of value.”

“Can you love or guide someone without any kind of expectation?”

“One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.”

“Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of thyself. Thou must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings his poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a stone; the painter, his picture; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing.”
