[Winstons Julia]

The ancients did have a lot of wisdom.

The other day I bought a shirt that has a Socrates quote in greek letters. “The only thing I know is that I don’t know anything.”

Here are a couple of my favorite Lao Tzo quotes:

“Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Codes were made to regulate our homes
The fatherland grew dark, confused by strife
Official loyalty became the style.

There you have it.. IF true..
Encourage the gov't to grow much bigger..
Raise taxes way beyond the gov'ts needs..

However IF untrue.. you will become a slave.. or..
even more of a slave than you already are..

[6SJ7]

When people have nothing more to lose,
Then revolution will result.

Do not take away their lands,
And do not destroy their livelihoods;
If your burden is not heavy then they will not shirk it.

The sage maintains himself but exacts no tribute,
Values himself but requires no honours;
He ignores abstraction and accepts substance.
