Random quotes:

 

"Our life as received from Nature is called real human being. Real human

beings are one with nature. Those who inwardly cultivate refinement with

this knowledge are called sages."

 

"If you are going to use this in dealing with people, it is imperative

first to know their development of energy and will. Knowing how robust or

deteriorated people's energy is, you nurture their willpower and examine

what makes them feel secure in order to know what they are capable of

doing."

 

"Thus when there is intimacy in spite of distance, that means there is

hidden virtue. When there is alienation in spite of nearness, that means

there is disparity of aims."

 

"Momentum is a determining factor of gain or loss, a force in strategic

change. Those whose momentum gets dispersed are those who have not been

watching with the carefulness of the spirit."
