"Much knowledge will corrupt the heart,/When partly..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“To lead, one must follow.”

“Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill. Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt. Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench. Care about people's approval and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.”

“He who holds on to the Way seeks no excess. Since he lacks excess, he can grow old in no need to be renewed.”

“Empirical sciences prosecuted purely for their own sake, and without philosophic tendency are like a face without eyes.”

“Be awesome! Be a book nut!”

“We are all ignorant. We are just ignorant about different things.”

“I am reminded of the professor who, in his declining hours, was asked by his devoted pupils for his final counsel. He replied, 'Verify your quotations.”

“I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.”

“Sucking the marrow out of life doesn't mean choking on the bone.”
