Tzu/live

Famous quotes containing the words tzu and/or live:

    Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline; simulated fear postulates courage; simulated weakness postulates strength.
    —Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)

    The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
