Fail to honor people,they fail to honor you; but of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, 'We did this ourselves.'

All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.

When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
