If I have even just a little sense, I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be of straying from it. Keeping to the main road is easy, But people love to be sidetracked.
The wise man puts himself last and finds himself first.
When the hares have all been caught, the hunting dogs are cooked.
The sage attends to the belly, and not to what he sees.
The one who rules like the mother lasts long.
Kind words elicit trust. Kind thoughts create depth. Kind deeds bring love.
