“Without cunning, there is no innovation. Without ambition, there is no accomplishment.”

“Accomplish but do not boast, accomplish without show, accomplish without arrogance, accomplish without grabbing, accomplish without forcing.”

“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”

“Without trust there’s no way that any organization can sustain innovation. Because without trust no one is willing to take the risks that innovation require.”

“Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.”

“Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.”

“The sage produces without possessing, acts without expectations, and accomplishes without abiding in her accomplishments. It is precisely because she does not abide in them that they never leave her.”
