Lao Tzu
Silence
Silence is a source of great strength.
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.
Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.
Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
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.
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
