"The supreme rulers are hardly known by..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The sense organs, which are limited in scope and ability, randomly gather information. This partial information is arranged into judgments, which are based on previous judgments, which are usually based on someone else's foolish ideas. These false concepts and ideas are then stored in a highly selective memory system.”

“He who regards many things easy will find many difficulties. Therefore the sage regards things difficult, and consequently never has difficulties.”

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures.Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.”

“You cannot kindle a fire in any other heart until it is burning in your own.”

“The leader must be an actor.”

“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.”

“If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land.”

“The State is the sum total of the sacrifice, on its behalf, of its members.”

“It is the people, and not the judges, who are entitled to say what their constitution means, for the constitution is theirs, it belongs to them and not to their servants in office—any other theory is incompatible with the foundation principles of our government.”
