The master does his job and then stops. He understands that the universe is forever out of control, and that trying to dominate events goes against the current of the Tao.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step and if that step is the right step, it becomes the last step.

The cords of passion and desire weave a binding net around you. Worldly confrontation makes you stiff and inflexible. The trap of duality is tenacious. Bound, rigid, and trapped, you cannot experience liberation.

Act without expectation.

Those who have the courage to dare will perish. Those who have the courage not to dare will live.

Let your workings remain a mystery. Just show people the results.

Complete your task. Seek no reward. Make no claims. Without faltering fully choose to do what you must do.
