The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete. – Lao Tzu
Govern a great nation as you would cook a small fish. Do not overdo it. – Lao Tzu
People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure. – Lao Tzu
I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any. – Lao Tzu
I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years? We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. Its a real shame if we dont spend our lives trying to do that. – Jack Antonoff
