"The more clever and cunning people are,..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Lay plans for the accomplishment of the difficult before it becomes difficult; make something big by starting with it when small.”

“One who is too insistent on his own views, finds few to agree with him.”

“If people do not revere the Law of Nature It will adversely affect them. If they accept It with knowledge and reverence, It will accommodate them with balance and harmony.”

“Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.”

“It is a much cleverer thing to talk nonsense than to listen to it.”

“Cleverness is not wisdom. And not to think mortal thoughts is to see few days.”

“What makes us so bitter against people who outwit us is that they think themselves cleverer than we are.”

“One must be a fox to recognize traps and a lion to frighten wolves”

“One Man may be more cunning than another, but not more cunning than every body else.”
