He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
Lao Tzu

The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.
Lao Tzu

Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.
Lao Tzu

The wise man does not lay up his own treasures. The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
