Lao Tzu

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.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.

Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

He who does not trust enough, will not be trusted.

Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Silence is a source of great strength.

“At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.

Knowing others is wisdom. Knowing yourself is enlightenment.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
