Ancient Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, the foundational text of Taoism along with the Zhuangzi

An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox
If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.
He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.
He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.
He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.
To see things in the seed, that is genius.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
