Overflowing Virtue

"He who regards his greatest achievements as unattained, may employ himself without decay. He who regards his greatest fulness as emptiness, may employ himself without exhaustion. His greatest uprightness is as crookedness. His greatest skill is as stupidity. His greatest eloquence is as stammering. Activity conquers cold, and quietness conquers heat; (but there is a) purity and quietude by which one may rule the whole world."
