Kahlil Gibran·1926The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say.
Zhuangzi·300 BCCherish that which is within you, and shut off that which is without; for much knowledge is a curse.
Lao Tzu·400 BCThe five colors blind the eye. The five tones deafen the ear. The five flavors dull the taste. Racing and hunting madden the mind. Precious things lead one astray. Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees. He lets go of that and chooses this.
It seems that perfection is attained not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to take away.
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.
