"A good runner leaves no footprints...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The value of actions lies in their timing.”

“He who knows much about others may be learned, but he who understands himself is more intelligent. He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.”

“Who can wait in stillness while the mud settles?”

“Those who are quiet value the words. When their task is completed, people will say: We did it ourselves.”

“Good Government is not intrusive the people are hardly aware of it; the next best is felt yet loved; then comes that which is known and feared; the worst government is hated.”

“The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering.”

“In the Universe the difficult things are done as if they were easy.”

“How can a man's life keep it's course If he will not let it flow, Those who flow as life flows know They need no other force: They feel no wear, they feel no tear, They need no mending, no repair.”

“A good athlete can enter a state of body-awareness in which the right stroke or the right movement happens by itself, effortlessly, without any interference of the conscious will. This is a paradigm for non-action: the purest and most effective form of action. The game plays the game; the poem writes the poem; we can't tell the dancer from the dance. It happens when we trust the intelligence of the universe in the same way that an athlete or a dancer trusts the superior intelligence of the body.”
