Tao Te Ching

“This tree—I see it pushing its roots ever more deeply and widely into the soil yet lifting itself up to the sky as if in prayer for light and warmth... I feel in myself the same lust for light and growth; this tree and I are kindred souls sharing the same hunger and the same life.”

— Will Durant 1885 – 1981 CE
Philosophy apostle and popularizer of history's lessons
