“The two mistakes of indolence and distraction must be combated by quiet work that is carried on daily without interruption; then success will certainly be achieved.”
Richard Wilhelm, The Secret of the Golden Flower: A Chinese Book of Life

“If today people sit and meditate only one or two hours, looking only at their own egos, and call this reflection, how can anything come of it?”
Richard Wilhelm, The Secret of the Golden Flower: A Chinese Book of Life

“One must not content oneself with small demands but must rise to the thought that all living creatures have to be redeemed. One must not be trivial and irresponsible in heart, but must strive to make deeds prove one’s words.”
Richard Wilhelm, The Secret of the Golden Flower: A Chinese Book of Life
