Nothing on earth is so weak and yielding as water, but for breaking down the firm and strong it has no equal.
I am wearied, as if I lacked a home to go to.
Truth sounds paradoxical!
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.
Holding on to the weak is called strength.
What is well planted will not be uprooted.
