"Moderation means prevention. Prevention means achieving much..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“The river and the sea can be kings of a hundred valleys, because they lie below them.”

“Knowing that you do not know is the best. Not knowing that you do not know is an illness.”

“A good person is the bad person's teacher. A bad person is the good person's task.”

“Moderation is the feebleness and sloth of the soul, whereas ambition is the warmth and activity of it.”

“The True Person avoids extremes, self-indulgence, and extravagance.”

“Sublime upon sublime scarcely presents a contrast, and we need a little rest from everything, even the beautiful.”

“True power and true politeness are above vanity.”

“Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.”

“For honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey a sauce to sugar.”
