"Can you step back from your own..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Other people have more than they need, I alone seem wanting.”

“When the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.”

“If you correct your mind the rest of your life will fall into place.”

“Every moment, the sunlightis totally empty and totally full.”

“Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.”

“Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.”

“Wherever primitive man put up a word, he believed he had made a discovery. How utterly mistaken he really was! He had touched a problem, and while supposing he had solved it, he had created and obstacle to its solution. Now, with every new knowledge we stumble over flint-like and petrified words and, in so doing, break a leg sooner than a word.”

“Don't expect people to abide by your rules if you don't clearly communicate what they are. And don't expect them to live by your rules if you're not willing to compromise and live by at least some of theirs.”

“But one must know where one stands, and where the others wish to go.”
