Here are some quotes, allegedly by someone who may not have really existed. Can you guess who? Do any of them strike a particular chord with you? (The first three are my favourites)

"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."

"When goodness is lost, it is replaced by morality."

"When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad."

"The usefulness of a pot comes from its emptiness."

"He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough."

"Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power."

"Try to change it and you will ruin it. Try to hold it and you will lose it."

"Those who know do not say. Those who say do not know."

"A journey of a thousand li starts with a single step."

"The more that laws and regulations are given prominence, the more thieves and robbers there will be."

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."

"Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained."

"Silence is a source of great strength."

"The best people are like water, which benefits all things and does not compete with them. It stays in lowly places that others reject."
