"Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; having given all he has to others, he is richer still.”

“The words of truth are always paradoxical.”

“Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following reason.”

“I will smile at friend and foe alike and make every effort to find, in him or her, a quality to praise, now that I realize the deepest yearning of human nature is the craving to be appreciated.”

“There is no duty more obligatory than the repayment of kindness.”

“Kind words and good deeds are eternal. You never know where their influence will end.”

“Virtue is our true wealth and the true reward of its possessor; it cannot be lost, it never deserts us until life leaves us.”

“No longer talk at all about the kind of man that a good man ought to be, but be such”

“If a man of good natural disposition acquires Intelligence [as a whole], then he excels in conduct, and the disposition which previously only resembled Virtue, will now be Virtue in the true sense. Hence just as with the faculty of forming opinions [the calculative faculty] there are two qualities, Cleverness and Prudence, so also in the moral part of the soul there are two qualities, natural virtue and true Virtue; and true Virtue cannot exist without Prudence.”
