He who holds balance...has attained the highest post in the world.

I do not act, and people become reformed by themselves.

The subtlest of subtleties, this is the gateway to all mysteries.

To be brave without compassion, generous without moderation, and rule without refraining from being first in the world, are certain deaths.

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.

Simple, like uncarved wood.

I find good people good And I find bad people good If I am good enough.
