“Gravity is the root of all grace.”

“Gravity is the root of all grace.”

LAO TZU

“What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object?”
“When can 4 ounces defeat 1000 pounds?”
“Conduct your triumph as a funeral.”

LAO TZU

“Those who are disappointed must have been appointed.”

“If when struck, you turn the other cheek, which way do you turn it?”

“If that which goes up must come down, does it follow that that which goes down must come up?”
