"Hold on to the center and make..." - Quote by Lao Tzu

“Clay is moulded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing. . . . Thus, taking advantage of what is, we recognize the utility of what is not.”

“Filling life exceedingly is called ominous.”

“Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear.”

“You are not 'in the now;' you are the now. That is your essential identity-the only thing that never changes. Life is always now. Now is consciousness. And consciousness is who you are. That's the equation.”

“Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.”

“You must not procrastinate. Rather, you should make preparations so that even if you did die tonight, you would have no regrets. If you develop an appreciation for the uncertainty and imminence of death, your sense of the importance of using your time wisely will get stronger and stronger.”

“The humblest praise most, while cranks & malcontents praise least. Praise almost seems to be inner health made audible”

“Happiness is intrinsic, it's an internal thing. When you build it into yourself, no external circumstances can take it away.”

“Retire into thyself. The rational principle which rules has this nature, that it is content with itself when it does what is just, and so secures tranquility.”
