More quotes by Zicheng Hong
Those who turn things around by themselves do not rejoice at gain or grieve over loss the whole world is the range they roam. Those who are themselves used by things hate it when events go against them and love it when they go their way the slightest thing can create binding entanglements.

Zicheng Hong
Conceit and arrogance are acquired states of mind. Conquer acquired states of mind, and basic sanity can unfold. Passion and willfulness are part of false consciousness erase false consciousness, and true consciousness will appear.

Those who have come to an impasse should examine their original intentions those who have succeeded should note where they are heading.
Zicheng Hong
Compromise to please others is not as good as integrity that annoys others. Rather than be praised without being good, it is better to be slandered without being bad.
Zicheng Hong
When one is not slipshod in small matters, not hypocritical in secret, and not reckless in disappointment, only then is one a true hero.
Zicheng Hong

To conquer demons, first conquer your mind. When the mind is subdued, demons withdraw obediently. To control knaves, first control your own mood. When your mood is balanced, scoundrels cannot get at you.
