A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
The Way of the Sage is to act but not to compete.
He who knows himself is enlightened.
Conquering others requires force. Conquering oneself requires strength
Those who would take over the earth and shape it to their will, never, I notice succeed.
