Dear Asad
This is a phanstastic website. Since I am interested in martial arts and it’s philosophy since many years, I know many of those (chinese) proverbs. Lao Tse should be an idol for all mankind, bringing us closer to the roots of earth and nature, and hence closer to ourselves. If we stop focusing on “always more money and power over others”, we will start to respect others and ourselves, and as a result can become the best version of ourselves. This is the ultimate peace recipe for this world!
Thank you for collecting such dense wisdom. Let me know if there is something I might contribute to your webpage. Stay healthy and be blessed!
cordially – Andre

Hi Asad,
Love the wisdom shining from these proverbs. Was just wondering if you also had them in traditional Chinese characters. I understand a little Mandarin and would love to hear them in their original form as I have a son who can read them for me.
Thanks,
Evan
