"Health is the greatest possession...." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“What people loathe the most is to be orphaned, desolate, unworthy. But this is what princes and kings call themselves.”

“Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.”

“If you practice inaction, nothing will be left undone: For the way to acquire lordship over society is by invariably not interfering.”

“I'm going to get an MRI to find out whether I have claustrophobia.”

“Healthy habits are learned in the same way as unhealthy ones - through practice.”

“For 24 years of my adult life, by choice I weighed well over 200 lbs. I say by choice because you see I have never accidentally eaten anything.”

“The generality of virtuous women are like hidden treasures, they are safe only because nobody has sought after them.”

“There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.”

“If you would get money as a writer or lecturer, you must be popular, which is to go down perpendicularly.... You are paid for being something less than a man. The state does not commonly reward a genius any more wisely. Even the poet laureate would rather not have to celebrate the accidents of royalty. He must be bribed with a pipe of wine; and perhaps another poet is called away from his muse to gauge that very pipe.”
