Be the chief but never the lord.
He who, conscious of being strong, is content to be weak, he shall be the paragon of mankind. Being the paragon of mankind, Virtue will never desert him. He returns to the state of a little child.
Without stepping out the door, you can know the world.
What has not yet emerged is easy to prevent.
When much virtue is achieved, nothing is not overcome.
Use justice to rule a country. Use surprise to wage war. Use non-action to govern the world.
