Chinese Wisdom of the Week |
“A person who shuns power, wealth, and luxury is clean. But one who comes into contact with power, wealth, and luxury and still remains unsullied is even cleaner. A person who is unacquainted with wiles and intrigues is noble. But one who is acquainted with wiles and intrigue but scorns to use them is even nobler.”
- from “Tending the Roots of Wisdom,” by Hong Yingming
That’s it for this week! Enjoy the wonders of the season, and don’t forget to stop and smell the roses when they start blooming in your little corner of the world!
Your friends,
Xiaoning & Debi |
