Prepare for the difficult while it is still easy. Deal with the big while it is still small. Difficult undertakings have always started with what easy. Great undertakings always started with what is small. Therefore the sage never strives for the great,And thereby the great is achieved.

Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish, too much handling will spoil it.

To be learned, add something each day. To be enlightened drop something each day.

Returning is the movement of the Way.

I am at peace, and people become fair by themselves.

The wise man is one who knows what he does not know.

Because he (the Sage) opposes no one, no one in the world can oppose him.
