"He who stands on tiptoedoesn't stand firm.He..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The wise man looks back into the past, and does not grieve over what is far off, nor rejoice over what is near; for he knows that time is without end.”

“A good counter needs no calculator.”

“Be who you are, and go the whole way.”

“Always keep your ego in check and not be afraid to listen. Listening is a great art form.”

“The worst man is the one who sees himself as the best.”

“Surely when a man is painting a picture he ought not refuse to hear any man's opinion... Since men are able to form a true judgement as to the works of nature, how much more does it behoove us to admit that they are able to judge our faults.”

“Too much pleasure disagrees with us. Too many concords are annoying in music; too many benefits irritate us; we wish to have the wherewithal to overpay our debts.”

“Temperance and bravery, then, are ruined by excess and deficiency, but preserved by the mean.”

“Those words, temperate and moderate, are words either of political cowardice, or of cunning, or seduction. A thing, moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper, is always a virtue; but moderation in principle, is a species of vice.”
