"Marriage is three parts love and seven..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“When the sage stands above people, they are not oppressed. When he leads people, they are not obstructed. The world will exalt him and not grow tired of him.”

“I find good people good And I find bad people good If I am good enough.”

“In ancient times, those who followed the Way did not try to give people knowledge thereof, but kept them ignorant.”

“He that has not got a wife is not yet a complete man.”

“An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done.”

“There is no greater stupidity than for people...to marry and so surrender themselves to the small miseries of domestic and private life.”

“Weeds are omnipresent; errors are to be found in the heart of the most lovable.”

“At one time I say to myself: "Surely not! The little prince shuts his flower under her glass globe every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully . . ." Then I am happy. And there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars.”

“I wish I could make him understand that a loving good heart is riches enough, and that without it intellect is poverty.”
