The snow goose need not bathe to
    make itself white. Neither need you
    do anything but be yourself. 
                        
~ Lao-Tzu
 
 
 
 
                                  A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms
                                  Grows from a downy tip; 
                                  A terrace nine stories high
                                  Rises from hodfuls of earth; 
                                  A journey of a thousand miles
                                  Starts from beneath one's feet.
                                                          ~ Lao-Tzu (attributed to)
