Know the male, Keep the female
be humble toward the world,
Be humble toward the world,
and eternal power never leaves,
returning again to innocence
Knowing the white, keep the black;
be an exlemplar for the world,
Be an exlepmlar for the world,
and eternal power never goes awry,
returning again to infinity
Knowing the glorious, keep the ignominious
be open to the world,
Be open to the world,
and eternal power suffices,
returning again to simplicity.
Simplicity is lost to make instruments,
which sages employ as functionaries.
Therefore the great fasioner does little splitting.
--Lao Tzu "The Tao Teh Ching"
"F**k Polite"--Sandford Meisner
Other infulential quotes include the 15th Psalm so dear to we Adpis and sonnet #116 by William Shakespeare and the aforementioned "Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost but as those are rather long I will not quote them here.
