Stillness is easy to maintain.

The wise stand out because they see themselves as part of the Whole. They shine because they don't want to impress. They achieve great things because they don't look for recognition. Their wisdom is contained in what they are, not their opinions. They refuse to argue, so no-one argues with them.

The world's beginning is its mother. To have found the mother is also to know the children. Although you know the children, cling to the mother. Until your last day you will not be harmed.

If I have even just a little sense, I will walk on the main road and my only fear will be of straying from it. Keeping to the main road is easy, But people love to be sidetracked.

To have enough of enough is always enough.

Those who defeat others are strong, those who defeat themselves are mighty.

There is nothing softer and weaker than water, and yet there is nothing better for attacking hard and strong things.
