This quote by Dale Carnegie suggests that if one seeks to achieve something sweet or rewarding, such as success or goodwill, it is important to approach the matter delicately and respectfully rather than causing chaos or creating conflict.

Every object and being in the universe is a jar overflowing with wisdom and beauty,a drop of the Tigris that cannot be contained by any skin.

Every moment, a new beauty.
