Fill yourself with desire and see only illusion.

Empty yourself of desire and understand the

great mystery of things. --Lao Ma
Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
--Tao Te Ching
1o conquer others is to have power. 1o conquer yourself is to know the way. --Lao Ma
Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. --Tao Te Ching
1he entire world is driven by a will, blind and ruthless. In order to transcend the limitations
of that world, you need to stop willing, stop desiring, stop hating. --Lao Ma

1herefore she who would live a long time should live for others, serve others. --Lao Ma
