Who is Lao-tzu the Philosopher

"He who knows others is wise; He who know himself is enlightened."

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"Seek not happiness too greedily, and be not fearful of happiness."

"He who knows does not speak.
He who speaks does not know."

"He who loves the world as his body may be entrusted with the empire."

"Manifest plainness, Embrace simplicity, Reduce selfishness, Have few desires."

"The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world. Through this I know the advantage of taking no action."

"The Way of Heaven is to benefit others and not to injure. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete."

"To know that you do not know is the best. To pretend to know when you do not know is a disease."

"The more laws and order are made prominent, The more thieves and robbers there will be."

"To have little is to possess. To have plenty is to be perplexed."

"A good manager is best when people barely know that he exists. Not so good when people obey and acclaim him. Worse when they despise him."

"When armies are mobilized and issues are joined, The man who is sorry over the fact will win."

"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love."

"The journey of a thousand leagues begins from beneath your feet."

"Arms are instruments of ill omen. . . . When one is compelled to use them, it is best to do so without relish. There is no glory in victory, and to glorify it despite this is to exult in the killing of men. . . . When great numbers of people are killed, one should weep over them with sorrow. When victorious in war, one should observe mourning rites."

"The softest things in the world to overcome the hardest things in the world."
