Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline simulated fear postulates courage simulated weakness postulates strength. – Lao Tzu
All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small. – Lao Tzu
Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. – Lao Tzu
If the Great Way perishes there will morality and duty. When cleverness and knowledge arise great lies will flourish. When relatives fall out with one another there will be filial duty and love. When states are in confusion there will be faithful servants. – Lao Tzu
