Wisdom & Quotes

• No need for silken string or flute of bamboo,

An unsullied music is in the streams and hills.
Who would wait for human singing
When the clustered trees,
Murmur in their sadness for themselves.

• The bird in a forest can perch but

On one bough.
And this should be the wise man's pattern.

Tsai Yen
