As long as we have hope, we have direction, the energy to move, and the map to move by. We have a hundred alternatives, a thousand paths and an infinity of dreams. Hopeful, we are halfway to where we want to go; hopeless, we are lost forever.

He who has no faith in others shall find no faith in them.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Governing a large state is like boiling a small fish.

If good happens, good; if bad happens, good.

The Way that can be walked is not the eternal Way.
