"Stretch the bow to the very full,..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Can you love or guide someone without any kind of expectation?”

“In the world there are four greats, and the king is one of them.”

“The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.”

“I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.”

“To be brave without compassion, generous without moderation, and rule without refraining from being first in the world, are certain deaths.”

“Progress needs the brakeman, but the brakeman should not spend all his time putting on the brakes.”

“Restraint never ruins one's health.”

“Only when a man will not do some things is he capable of doing great things.”

“Human nature, essentially changeable, as unstable as the dust, can endure no restraint; if it binds itself it soon begins to tear madly at its bonds, until it rends everything asunder, the wall, the bonds, and its very self.”
