Lao TzuMoved by deep love, a man is courageous.
And with frugality, a man becomes generous,
And he who does not desire to be ahead of the

The sages do not act from (any wish to be) benevolent; they deal with the people as the dogs of grass are dealt with.
Lao TzuIf you understand others you are smart.
If you understand yourself you are illuminated.
If you overcome others you are powerful.
If you overcome yourself you have strength.
If you know how to be satisfied you are rich.
If you can act with vigor, you have a will.
If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting.
If you die without loss, you are eternal.
