Rule a kingdom as though you were cooking a small fish - don't overdo it.
Heaven's Way gives no favors. It always remains with good people.
The wicked leader is he who the people despise. The good leader is he who the people revere. The great leader is he who the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'
[The Master] doesn't glitter like a jewel... [but is] as rugged and common as a stone.
All things in the world come from being. And being comes from non-being.
Be as the still mountain; Move like the great river.
