Ancient Quote by George J. Mitchell

No matter how ancient the conflict, no matter how hateful, no matter how hurtful, peace can prevail.” quote by George J. Mitchell — Download Open image

“We ought to know the history of our ancient ancestors.”

Lailah Gifty Akita

In ancient times, those who wished to illuminate the world with virtue first brought order to their nations. Wishing to order well their nations, they first harmonized their families.

Men must speak English who can write Sanskrit; they must speak a modern language who write, perchance, an ancient and universal one.

The Tao is the center of the universe, the good man's treasure, the bad man's refuge. Honors can be bought with fine words, respect can be won with good deeds; but the Tao is beyond all value, and no one can achieve it. Thus, when a new leader is chosen, don't offer to help him with your wealth or your…
