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

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu

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.'
Lao Tzu

Because of a great love, one is courageous.
Lao Tzu

Great acts are made up of small deeds.
Lao Tzu

Silence is a source of great strength.
Lao Tzu

Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative, to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.
