*** Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. *** The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. *** A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving. *** Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. *** Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know. *** When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you. *** The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth. *** When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. *** The best fighter is never angry.
