Tao Te Ching

“Did you think you could have the good without the evil? Did you think you could have the joy without the sorrow?... Sooner or later, regardless of the wit of man, we have pain to face; a reality; a final inescapable, immutable fact of life. What poor souls, if we have then no philosophy to face it with! I'll think about what I am going to write tomorrow-not about me, not about my body.”

— David Grayson 1870 – 1946 CE
