I have realized that my real self is a greater entity than any possible post or title.

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.

Plans will get you into things, but you have got to work your way out.

And even a liar can be scared into telling the truth, same as honest man can be tortured into telling a life.

The lion doesn't turn around when the small dog barks.

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.

The people turn to a benevolent rule as water flows downwards, and as wild beasts fly to the wilderness.

When there is silence one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.

What the superior man seeks is in himself. What the small man seeks is in others.

Accept – then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.

I refuse to accept the idea that the “isness” of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the “oughtness” that forever confronts him.

He that complies against his will is of his own opinion still.

Being aware of a single shortcoming within yourself is far more useful than being aware of a thousand in someone else!
