“ "What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others."”
The Analects of Confucius • Confucius“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
The Art Of War • Sun Tzu“Order is not enough. You can’t just be stable, and secure, and unchanging, because there are still vital and important new things to be learned. Nonetheless, chaos can be too much. You can’t long tolerate being swamped and overwhelmed beyond your capacity to cope while you are learning what you still need to know. Thus, you need to place one foot in what you have mastered and understood and the other in what you are currently exploring and mastering. Then you have positioned yourself where the terror of existence is under control and you are secure, but where you are also alert and engaged. That is where there is something new to master and some way that you can be improved. That is where meaning is to be found.””
12 Rules For Life: An Antidote To Chaos • Jordan B. Peterson““It is the nature of men to be bound by the benefits they confer as much as by those they receive.””
The Prince • Niccolo Machiavelli“Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”
The Naval Treaty • Arthur Conan Doyle
