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
The supreme excellence is not to win a hundred victories in a hundred
battles. The supreme excellence is to subdue the armies of your enemies
without even having to fight them. Lao
Tzu
To lead people, walk beside them... As for the best leaders, the people do
not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The
next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate... When the best
leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!' Lao
Tzu
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you. Lao
Tzu
