Who is there who can make muddy waters clear? But if allowed to remain still, it will gradually clear itself.

Not all spiritual paths lead to the harmonious Oneness. Indeed, most are detours and distractions, nothing more.

He who is able to conquer others is powerful; he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful.

The good leader carries water for his people.

The great Way is easy, yet people prefer the side paths. Be aware when things are out of balance. Stay centered within the Tao.

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

The truly great man dwells on what is real and not what is on the surface.
