She who is centered in the Tao can go where she wishes, without danger. She perceives the universal harmony, even amid great pain, because she has found peace in her heart. Music or the smell of good cooking may make people stop and enjoy. But words that point to the Tao seem monotonous and without flavor. When you look for it, there is nothing to see. When you listen for it, there is nothing to hear. When you use it, it is inexhaustible.
LaoziAll men desire to free themselves solely from death; they do not know how to free themselves from life.
LaoziKindness in thought leads to wisdom. Kindness in speech leads to eloquence. Kindness in action leads to love.
Laozi
