A great nation is like a great man:When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.Having realized it, he admits it.Having admitted it, he corrects it.He considers those who point out his faultsas his most benevolent teachers.He thinks of his enemyas the shadow that he himself casts.

Movement overcomes cold.

Failure is an opportunity. If you blame someone else, there is no end to the blame. Therefore the Master fulfills her own obligations and corrects her own mistakes. She does what she needs to do and demands nothing of others.

Those who are unswerving have resolve

What the Way is to the world, the stream is to the river and the sea.

How do I know about the world? By what is within me.

The people are hungry: It is because those in authority eat up too much in taxes.
