I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self.

Whenever you are confronted with an opponent, conquer him with love.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.

Whoever counters the malicious with malice can never be free, but one who feels no maliciousness pacifies those who hate. Hate brings misery to humanity, so the wise man knows no hatred

It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong.

Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred, it will be stilled by non-hatred - this is the law Eternal.

In the vast cosmos man is like a speck. Essentially there is no conflict between man and creation.

Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity and sets us at noting and contriving.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?

In dwelling live close to the ground. In thinking keep to the simple. In conflict be fair and generous. In governing don't try to control. In work do what you enjoy. In family life be completely present.

Let us live without any conflict.

Hence the saying: If you know the enemy and you know yourself your victory will not stand in doubt, if you now Heaven and you know Earth you may make your victory complete.

The passions are the same in every conflict, large or small.

Put two or three men in positions of conflicting authority. This will force them to work at loggerheads, allowing you to be the ultimate arbiter.

It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly those who dispute with one another at last agree.

At the bottom of enmity between strangers lies indifference.

Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity and a provision in old age.
