"Movement overcomes cold...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The sage acts by doing nothing.”

“I do not act, and people become reformed by themselves.”

“My words have an origin. My deeds have a sovereign. Truly, because people do not understand this, they do not understand me.”

“An Egg to day is better than a Hen to-morrow.”

“She asked him to come and see her that night. He agreed, in order to get away, knowing that he was incapable of going. But that night, in his burning bed, he understood that he had to go see her, even if he were not capable. He got dressed by feel, listening in the dark to his brother's calm breathing, the dry cough of his father in the next room, the asthma of the hens in the courtyard, the buzz of the mosquitoes, the beating of his heart, and the inordinate bustle of a world that he had not noticed until then, and he went out in the sleeping street.”

“Our actions determine our dispositions.”

“We need stable regimes in this part of the world [the Mideast] who will be partners and friends of ours, because the fact of the matter is we do rely on imported oil to fuel our economy and to fuel our nation.”

“Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water”

“A genius is a person who is seeing further and probing deeper than other people has a different set of ethical valuations from their and has energy enough to give effect to this extra vision and its valuations in whatever manner best suits his or her”
