The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, we did it ourselves. The well-run group is not a battlefield of egos. The Way of Heaven does not compete, and yet it skilfully achieves victory. The journey of a thousand leagues begins with a single step. Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of unhappiness. To see things in the seed, that is genius. One who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you. Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins. Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment. |
