When the Way governs the world, the proud stallions drag dung carriages. When the Way is lost to the world, war horses are bred outside the city.
Treat the large as the small and the few as the many.
The True Person governs by emptying the heart of desire and filling the belly with food, weakening ambitions and strengthening bones.
Those who know do not talk. Those who talk do not know.
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
Can you let go of words and ideas, attitudes and expectations? If so, then the Tao will loom into view.
