People believe what they say but not what they say is beautiful, and they don’t believe what they say is beautiful. A good person does not argue, and a person who debates is not good. A person who knows is not knowledgeable, and a person who is knowledgeable does not know. The sage does not accumulate. If he thinks of others, he will have more; if he gives to others, he will have more. The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful. The way of a saint is to work without fighting. ("Lao Tzu. Chapter 81")
If you don't have a clear mirror to learn from yourself, you will be ruined; if the country has no loyal ministers, you will perish." If you listen to one side, it will be dark. "From "New Book of Tang Wei Zheng Biography".
The plan for a year depends on spring, the plan for a day depends on Yin, the plan for a family depends on harmony, and the plan for a lifetime depends on diligence.
It is better to take the straight course than to seek the truth from the twists and turns.
