“The Great Way is not named; Great Discriminations are not spoken; Great Benevolence is not benevolent; Great Modesty is not humble; Great Daring does not attack. If the Way is made clear, it is not the Way.”

“Great understanding is broad and unhurried; little understanding is cramped and busy. Great words are clear and limpid; little words are shrill and quarrelsome.”

“When the Great Tao (Way or Method) ceased to be observed, benevolence and righteousness came into vogue.”

“congress - that great, benevolent asylum for the helpless”

“Great truths do not take hold of the hearts of the masses. And now, as the world is in error, how shall I, though I know the true path, how shall I guide? If I know that I cannot succeed and yet try to force success, this world would be but another source of error. Better then to desist and strive no more. But if I do not strive, who will?”

“Great leaders passed away, politicians made their way.”

“Great physicists, great mathematicians, great chemists, and publishers knew that one was always feeling one’s way in the dark.”
