"Things exalted then decay. This is going..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“He who loves does not dispute: He who disputes does not love.”

“Thirty spokes are joined in the wheel's hub. The hole in the middle makes it useful.”

“One who lives in accordance with nature does not go against the way of things but moves in harmony with the present moment.”

“Hurrah for revolution and more cannon-shot! A beggar upon horseback lashes a beggar on foot. Hurrah for revolution and cannon come again! The beggars have changed places, but the lash goes on.”

“The movements of nature are in a never ending circle. The animal species which has once been put into a train of motion, is still probably moving in that train. For if one link in nature's chain might be lost, another and another might be lost, till this whole system of things should evanish by piece-meal; a conclusion not warranted by the local disappearance of one or two species of animals, and opposed by the thousands and thousands of instances of the renovating power constantly exercised by nature for the reproduction of all her subjects, animal, vegetable, and mineral.”

“The end of being is to know; and if you say, the end of knowledge is action,-why, yes, but the end of that action again, is knowledge.”

“Supreme good is like water. Water greatly benefits all things, without conflict. It flows through places that people loathe. Thereby it is close to the Way.”

“The way is light and fluid for the man withno preferences.”

“Knowing the future is the flower of the Way, and the beginning of folly.”
