The leader is one who, out of the clutter, brings simplicity... out of discord, harmony... and out of difficulty, opportunity.
Discord gives a relish for concord.
Better a holy discord than a profane concord.
Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos.
To be good is to be in harmony with oneself. Discord is to be forced to be in harmony with others.
When our actions create discord in another person, we, ourselves, in this lifetime or another, will feel that discord. Likewise, if our actions create harmony and empowerment in another, we also come to feel that harmony and empowerment.
Out of chaos, find simplicity, From discord, find harmony.
Nature is harmony in discord.
From discord, find Harmony.
Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity. From discord find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
The Musketaquid, or Grass-ground River, though probably as old as the Nile or Euphrates, did not begin to have a place in civilized history until the fame of its grassy meadows and fish attracted settlers out of England in 1635, when it received the other but kindred name of CONCORD from the first plantation on its banks, which appears to have commenced in a spirit of peace and harmony. It will be Grass-ground River as long as grass grows and water runs here; it will be Concord River only while men lead peacable lives on its banks.
Music, to create harmony, must investigate discord.
One should be in harmony with, not in opposition to, the strength and force of the opposition. This means that one should do nothing that is not natural or spontaneous; the important thing is not to strain in any way.
A harmonized mind produces harmony in this world of seeming discord.
Harmony would lose its attractiveness if it did not have a background of discord.
