Re: Asian Philosophy is Eloquent

All the world says,
"I am important;
I am separate from all the world.
I am important because I am separate,
Were I the same, I could never be important."

Yet here are three treasures
That I cherish and commend to you:
The first is compassion,
By which one finds courage.
The second is restraint,
By which one finds strength.
And the third is unimportance,
By which one finds influence.



~Lao Tze

It is because words cannot be clearly heard in battle, drums and gongs are used;
it is because troops cannot see each other clearly in battle, flags and pennants are used.
Therefore, in night battles use torches and drums;
in day battles use flags and pennants.
Drums, gongs, flags, and pennants are used to unite men's eyes and ears.
When the men are united, the brave cannot advance alone, the cowardly cannot retreat alone.
Sun Tzu.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
