Cartography

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

Do not speak - unless it improves on silence

In all things, success depends on previous

preparation, and without such previous

preparation there is sure to be failure

Water which is too pure has no fish

Eliminate what does not matter to make more

room for what does

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place

See with your eyes, hear with your ears. Nothing is hidden.

No flower ever sees the seed.
