Yet mystery and imagination arise from the same source. This source is called darkness... Darkness within darkness, the gateway to all understanding (Laozi Quotes)

The sage seeks freedom from desire. He does not collect precious things. He learns not to hold on to ideas. He brings men back to what they have lost (Laozi Quotes)

Do not conquer the world with force, for force only causes resistance. Thorns spring up when an army passes. Years of misery follow a great victory. Do only what needs to be done without using violence (Laozi Quotes)
He who is able to conquer others is powerful; he who is able to conquer himself is more powerful (Laozi Quotes)
