All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are. Humility gives it its power.
If you would take, you must first give.
Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.
A tree that cannot bend will crack in the wind. Thus by nature's own decree, the soft and gentle are triumphant.
I observe myself and I come to know others.
When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.
