Attend to the End

One must be as attentive at the end of an enterprise
as at the beginning if it is to succeed.

Based on verse 64 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by Dwight Goddard

The Third Law

All consequences are born from actions;
Like dreams, they're not truly real.
From moment to moment they continually die away,
The same as before and after.

Excerpted from The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Thomas Cleary

Life Without Limits

In leadership,
nothing surpasses moderation.
Moderation results in integrity,
with which nothing is impossible.

If nothing is impossible,
one knows no limits.
If one knows no limits,
one may lead in the net of gems.

Based on verse 59 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by Dwight Goddard

The Power of Metaphor

Real or unreal,
False or not false,
Mundane or transmundane,
There's nothing but descriptions.

Excerpted from The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Thomas Cleary

On Evolution

Evolution favors those who favor evolution.

Perfection

Perfection seems imperfect,
for it is never finished perfecting.

Excerpted from verse 45 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by Dwight Goddard

Integrity

The leader who knows when to stop
is free to go on.

Based on verse 44 in Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, translated by Dwight Goddard
