It is only when we have the courage to face things exactly as

they are, without any self-deception or illusion, that a light

will develop out of events, by which the path to success may
be recognized.
I Ching

Change is certain. Peace is followed by disturbances;

departure of evil men by their return. Such recurrences
should not constitute occasions for sadness but realities for
awareness, so that one may be happy in the interim.
I Ching

On average, an infant laughs nearly two hundred times a day;

an adult, only twelve. Maybe they are laughing so much
because they are looking at us. To be able to preserve
joyousness of heart and yet to be concerned in thought: in this
way we can determine good fortune and misfortune on earth,
and bring to perfection everything on earth.
