Pride and curiosity are the two scourges of our souls. The latter prompts us to poke our noses into everything, and the former forbids us to leave anything unresolved and undecided.

Michel de Montaigne

It is not wise to rush about. If too much energy is used, exhaustion follows. This is not the way of Tao.

Lao Tzu

If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.

Voltaire

The root of suffering is attachment.

Buddha

Study the past if you would define the future.

Confucius

To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go.

Tao Te Ching
