“The excellence of the heart is profundity,
The excellence of human relationships is kindness,
The excellence of speech is sincerity,
The excellence of government is fairness,
The excellence of service is being effective,
The excellence of action is timing.
Above all, only do not struggle,
Thus nothing will go wrong.”
― Laozi, Daodejing: The Oral Tradition

“A guilty system recognizes no innocents.”
― Iain M. Banks, The Player of Games

“And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name”
― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
