"A tree that can fill the span..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.”

“You should rule a great country As you would fry a small fish- With the least turning.”

“Spokes unite in the hub of a wheel.”

“Try, start always at home. This is my encouragement to all writers, start at home. All virtues and vices begin at home, and then spread abroad.”

“Start where you are, use what you have.”

“All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.”

“At the end of your days, be leaning forwards, not falling backwards.”

“With every adversity comes a blessing because a shock acts as a reminder to oneself that we must not get stale in routine.”

“Great suffering brings with it the power of great endurance. When sorrow is deepest all the forces of patience and courage are banded together to do their duty. So while we are cowards before petty troubles, great sorrows make us brave by rousing our truer manhood.”
