"Fail to honor people, they fail to..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Only fools seek power, and the greatest fools seek it through force.”

“When there is no desire, all things are at peace”

“. . . the integral being is attached to nothing and can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Because of this, her very existence benefits all things.”

“A mind that's open to everything means being peaceful, radiating love, practicing forgiveness, being generous, respecting all life, and most important, visualizing yourself as capable of doing anything that you can conceive of in your mind and heart.”

“Because he (the Sage) demands no honor, he will never be dishonored.”

“To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.”

“Observe that open loves are held to be more honourable than secret ones, and that the love of the noblest and highest, even if their persons are less beautiful than others, is especially honourable.”

“I desire no honour if I have to conceal my religious beliefs in order to have it.”

“With music strong I come, with my cornets and my drums, I play not marches for accepted victors only, I play marches for conquer'd and slain persons. Have you heard that it was good to gain the day?I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won. I beat and pound for the dead, I blow through my embouchures my loudest and gayest for them.”
