Supporting one’s parents, cherishing spouse and children and a peaceful occupation; this is the greatest blessing.
He is the true hero who fights to protect the helpless; though cut limb from limb, flees not the field.
The mode of living which is founded upon a total harmlessness towards all creatures upon a minimum of such harm is the highest morality.
Lao Tan said, “I was letting my mind wander in the beginning of things.”
“What does this mean?” asked Confucius. Lao Tan said, “It means to attain Perfect Beauty and wander in Perfect Happiness. He who attains Perfect Beauty and wanders in Perfect Happiness may be called the Perfect Man.”
