The best form of leadership is to be conscious of the leadership potential with the followers and to let them unleash this potential in a spontaneous way. When a great leader accomplishes this task with effortless ease, the followers say, "We did it ourselves."

Strong winds do not last all morning, hard rains do not last all day.

Moderation means prevention. Prevention means achieving much virtue.

Knowing the future is the flower of the Way, and the beginning of folly.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Let muddy water stand and it will become clear.

Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.
