That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the resistant, is a fact known by all, but practiced by few.

To joy in conquest is to joy in the loss of human life.

Instead of being afraid of death, we should try to awake to life; and the only death we should escape from is to forget the presence of God into us.

Water does not force its way.

Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can. I wish you Happy New Year and diary full of best stories ever written in your life.

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it. The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid. Everyone knows this is true, but few can put it into practice. Therefore the Master remains serene in the midst of sorrow. Evil cannot enter his heart. Because he has given up helping, he is people's greatest help. True words seem paradoxical.

Excellent conquerors do not engage.
