#flexibility

Can you let your body become as supple and yielding as a newborn child's?

Hardness and rigidity are companions of death. Softness and flexibility are companions of life.

We must live today by what truth we can get today, and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.

They must often change, who would be constant in happiness or wisdom.

Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change.

The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.

The bamboo bends before the howling wind, and so it survives the hurricane unbowed.
